Hi
I have been using sudo yum update && yum upgrade every couple of days or 
so to keep Fedora 16 up to date but this morning have a problem.
It installs some files DKMS uninstall completes yum then cleans up some 
files and verifies, removes unwanted kernel-devel

Skipped (dependency problems):
   system-config-date.noarch 0:1.10.5-1.fc16

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect"
Trying other mirror.

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I ran sudo yum update --skip-broken && yum upgrade which installed and 
updated some files but fails to complete.
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest doesn't seem to do anything.

What should I do to resolve this impasse?
