I added the following to the Fedora 11 Alpha Release Notes, since this
is just a wiki page and all installers should read them:
>>
== Known Issues ==
Due to changes in MD5 checksums, "yum update" will fail. To fix this:
* yum update rpm
* yum update
<<
Can anyone verify that this actually works? I have not experienced this
problem. The more complicated methods I have seen come across the list
were (I think) what's below, but if they are no longer necessary or
accurate the above is very clean.

1.)
* yum install yum-downloadonly
* yum --downloadonly install rpm
* yum update
2.)
"Make sure db4-utils is installed. (That one went smoothly with yum.)
Get rpm-4.6.0-8 as well as rpm-libs and rpm-python from koji. (Or, one
could probably do it by installing the yum-downloadonly plugin then
doing yum --downloadonly install rpm, which should pull in the others,
as well as bash and company.
Then, assuming db4-utils is installed, get the rpm-libs rpm-python and
rpm in one directory. Then rpm -Uvh *rpm"
