Yet More Yum Woe
"yum update" on one of my F10 machines looks all right, even
through the download -- and then I get this :
(39/39): perl-5.10.0-52.fc10.i386.rpm | 14 MB 01:24

I haven't the faintest idea what that means; so I google the
error line.
It sends me to a wad of sites on Fedora-forum (which I never have
been able to use; but I see there are discussions back at least to 2007).
So I go to that yum site, and it wants me to register; I try.
Three different browsers tell me its certificate is no good, and
urge me strongly not to go there.
I try yum update again; same result. One of the forum threads
that I do get to suggests the OP remove something. I try "yum remove
mono*" -- and get this :

Some of that looks very serious; I don't want to futz with things
named sysinfo nor gnome-desktop-*. (I might, but I once did try some such
thing, long ago, and it removed yum! I had one devil of a time with
that ...)
So am I stymied?? (Three other F10 machines so far have updated
just fine btw.)
