The story continues:
I installed separately the depedency compat-libstdc++ and then the install
of flash-plugin got past the dependency check, but failed on the
signature. So I installed with up2date --nosig and it worked.
Later I saw a reference to missing GPG keys in rpm, so I added the key
with rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-1/RPM-GPG-KEY. That
seemed to go okay, so to test, I did rpm -e flash-plugin and then tried to
up2date flash-plugin again and it now hangs on "Fetching rpm headers...",
and CPU goes to 99%. Ctrl-C doesn't kill it either, I need to Ctrl-Z and
then kill -9.
Packages from the default repositories (coincidentally all yum) seem to
work.
