That means your repo data has been entered twice.  Check /etc/yum.conf
and files in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

in fc3  how yum is configured was re-organized.
a fresh install of fc3 will give you a  /etc/yum.conf that as NO
repository definitions
instead  the package named 'fedora-release' places individual .repo
files in /etc/yum.repos.d/

What you are seeing is most likely is the result of a custom yum.conf
that has duplicate entries to those provided in the files in
/etc/yum.repo.d/

You need to check your dries entry to make sure its the correct url
for the yum used in fc3.
Note that the yum 2.1.x  uses a different serverside metadata
structure than yum 2.0.x.
If you are using a dries repository url meant for yum 2.0.x you might
need to use a different url for yum 2.1.x because of the changes.

here is what my working /etc/yum.repo.d/dries.repo file has:
[dries]
name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/dries/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/dries/RPMS/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

Then Dries' repo must be defined in /etc/yum.conf. Verify either the
URLs in yum.conf are vaiid or that the repos are disabled.

This is the same as fedora.repo because "[base]" is common label.

You have duplicated all the repos in yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/. 
There is no point in having both.  Either comment out all the repos in
yum.conf or disable all the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/.

The repodata metadata for Dries is down one more level, Here's
my /etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo:

[dries]
name=Dries repository for Fedora Core $releasever
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/dries/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/dries/RPMS/
  http://dries.studentenweb.org/yum/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/dries/R...
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

I'd empty out the yum.conf entries and use only /etc/yum.repos.d/ files,
but either approach should work as long as conflicting entries are not
in both places.  May also want to enable gpgcheck and grap Dries key
using:

# rpm --import http://dries.ulyssis.org/ayo/RPM-GPG-KEY.dries.txt

[A google on "reponame gpg" will usually turn up reponame's GPG key.]

well,thanks.by emptying yum.conf file and adding dries.repo under 
/etc/yum.repos.d worked.
but i want to use Didier's repo of enlightenment 17.
neither adding to yum.conf nor creating a repo file for it worked. i get:
> [root@localhost ~]# yum check-update
> Setting up Repo:  dries
> repomd.xml                100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

can you or can anybody help with this one?

repo only seems to have 1 and 2 [no 3 directory or new-yum-style
repodata metadata directory] so no, can't help there.  You could try
manually downloading/installing RPMS and possibly creating a local repo
so yum can see them.  Would suggest rebuilding from SRPMS, but there
don't seem to be any.

Obvious that this repository is not compatible with the new yum
repository format using the metadata.

You're using the yum.conf for FC2. Get the new yum.conf for FC3 from
fedorafaq.org.

my yum.conf file (which i get from a friend) already has Dries'
