-(:14:08:$)-> sudo yum clean all
Loading "changelog" plugin

Could not find update match for pidgin
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion


my yum.conf is as i showed in the first mails. as vidal said,
maybe is not in the mirror i use, or is being excluded by
repository? i have no idea about this situation

packages about yum i use now are:

yum-utils-1.1.6-1.fc8.noarch
yum-allowdowngrade-1.1.6-1.fc8.noarch
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386
yumex-1.9.11-1.fc8.noarch
yum-3.2.2-3.fc8.noarch
yum-skip-broken-1.1.6-1.fc8.noarch
yum-updatesd-0.4-1.fc8.noarch
yum-changelog-1.1.6-1.fc8.noarch
yum-downloadonly-1.1.6-1.fc8.noarch
