hello michael,
i played with this and up until 0900 hrs utc, this morning and i believe i
figured out what is going on.
that is maybe i have. i got so tired that my sight was blurring and i had
to quit because i had trouble see what i was typing as well as what i was
looking at.
i have 1 of problems solved, but have a question on other.
after about 4 hours sleep, i woke up thinking about what errors are occurring
and what i do believe may be reason.

actually, lines are a little different and it is this that i have a question
about.
{
what i have in "fedora.repo*;
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
would become;
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
}
{
what you show;
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
would become;
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
}
both of these 'baseurl' exist. one is for "releases", other is for "updates".
because i have both 'dependency' and 'related' errors, should i not have;
"releases" path in "fedora.repo" file,
and
"updates" path in "fedora.updates.repo" file?
at time of making changes to files, i did not think about file names and
line that you showed, and it applying to *fedora.updates.repo* only, so i
made additional changes to path in *fedora.repo*.
this does seem to be a logical solution to problems.
i have been taking care of house chores and 'yardening' most of day, and
while i am taking a 'heat break', i thought i might ask before i try out
my 'theory'.
thanks again.
later.
