You've messed up your repository definitions somehow.
Verify the definition of the "dries" repository. It looks as if
you replaced the baseurl= with the URL of the fedora-release package,
which is not correct at all.


Sorry, didn't know any better.

Keeping an eye on the output, Yum kept pointing to the dries.repo,
and becoming desparate I Stuck a URL in there hoping..and waiting
for the errors.

fc5 is broken here along with a bunch
of services and links. Still trying to update to 10, and then
reading how important staying updated is.


There must be a .conf file somewhere to change and make it point
correctly?

Is there even a dries respository anymore? The seven now showing
in repos.d look ancient.

'messed up...somehow' is the operative..

Shouldn't I just delete all of them and build (one) correctly?

My back is really against the wall. I now show no DVD or USB so
I can't ISO an image, and Just read if updating from HD you can't
ISO files on partitions controlled by LVM. Isn't LVM my Gui??

if you are attempting to use yum to go from FC-5 to F10, I would suggest
that you forget that. Then the fact that you have packages from 3rd
parties just simply piles on to the skills required to accomplish the
task, especially considering that the interim fedora repositories have
disappeared.

Best to back up /home and install F10 new/clean from live-CD or DVD
