1) You seem to have the kde-testing repo enabled. Unless you really want
to do KDE testing, that's probably not a good idea. That in itself could
explain the error you're getting (testing repos are less reliable than
stable ones).

2) You also have a large number of yum plugins enabled. Do you need them
all? Hint: I use 6, you use 15. Not necessarily bad, but fewer plugins
means fewer things to go wrong.

And finally a couple of list-etiquette comments:

a) Don't reply to digests. You could easily have posted this message
directly rather than as a reply (in fact it isn't even in reply to the
contents of the digest). Replying and changing the Subject line isn't a
substitute.

b) Don't post in HTML. Among other things, it makes replying to you
significantly harder for those that prefer plaintext email.
