Looks like your /etc/yum.repos.d needs some work:

ftp.cse.yzu.edu.tw is about a week behind in updates, looked there and
the newest packages for f8 updates were dated Jun 6

Extras went away in f7 - look for /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo
and delete it

Looks like you have been doing updates from F6 at least.
Here are a couple links that may help:

My f8 yum updates ran fine last night:
Updated: iptables.i386 0:1.3.8-7.fc8 iptables-ipv6.i386 0:1.3.8-7.fc8
perl.i386 4:5.8.8-40.fc8 perl-ExtUtils-Embed.i386 0:1.26-40.fc8
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker.i386 0:6.30-40.fc8 perl-Test-Harness.i386
0:2.56-40.fc8 perl-devel.i386 4:5.8.8-40.fc8 perl-libs.i386
4:5.8.8-40.fc8 perl-suidperl.i386 4:5.8.8-40.fc8 pm-utils.i386
0:0.99.4-19.fc8 postgresql-libs.i386 0:8.2.9-1.fc8
Complete!
Yum update completed - Fri Jun 13 05:32:47 2008

Perhaps yum-fastestmirror is finding fast but out of date mirrors for
you.  Perhaps someone else can suggest a workaround for that.
