OThanks Kevin, I'd been wondering why clearing the metadata cache wasn't sufficient to re-enable updates. If it's of any use to anyone else who updated their Livna packages before the deluge of Fedora updates, I ran the following; yum remove xine-lib-extras-nonfree yum clean all yum update yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree Regards, MichaelI could not install xine-lib-extras-nonfree earlier as I assume you could not. But today it worked without any yum clean being necessary. I assume it was just a mirror problem.
Well aside from the question of whether it was necessary to clean the cache (I took my cue from Nataraj's post in the "When the floodgates open ..." thread) I gathered the problem that some were experiencing didn't purely and simply come down to transitory synch issues: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-September/msg01124.html
