Which version of yum are you using?
(rpm -q yum)
If not the latest, try manually updating to it and then try again:
# rpm -Uvh
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/yum-2
.1.12-0.fc3.noarch.rpm
Paul.
I solved it by following the instructions at
http://www.charlescurley.com/yum/upgrading.html#AEN268
3.2.2. Clean Out Old Headers
You are about to change out your update repository. The first thing to do is
clean out your headers and packages. This will help avoid confusion later
on. To get absolutely everything:
rm -r /var/cache/yum/*
