No special repository. I  was following the thread titled: "Re: Open PGP 
plug-in?",
and I wanted to install cryptplug without getting into "dependency 
hell". I had
run "up2date cryptplug" from the root console, and got a different error, so
I tried "yum install ..." from the root console instead, since I checked 
and *did*
find that cryptplug is in the default fedora repository <*shrug*>....

I'll try cleaning out /var/cache/yum, as you suggested.
