FC2 is EOL - means no updates available for it since several month.
There is the Fedora Legacy Project http://www.fedoralegacy.org/ which
offers security (no feature updates, only security patches) updates for
actually EOL products FC1 and FC2. Please read on their website. Without
upgrading to a current Fedora release you can't get newer applications
versions without doing the work yourself.
