Would be good to know whether you did set up a list of conflicting
repositories.

Is that an issue for you?

Did you already install the up2date update package?
http://fedoranews.org/updates/FEDORA-2004-083.shtml
If needed do it manually using rpm directly.

yum uses /etc/yum.conf and not the sources file for up2date.

As far as I see up2date does not store header.info. Check your
/var/spool/up2date directory and maybe delete it's content (or move it
to a different place).

There may be mirrors having difficulties with the high traffic and
access volume caused by the arriving of the test 3 release. Again,
provide us with information which mirrors you use and which repositories
you have configured.
