The Problem is SOLVED. I was reading at some french forum and the user that
reported a similar
problem said that one day later, everything was working fine without doing
anything. and that happened
to me. Today everything works fine.

@Hugh: I wasn't running any YUM process, and I was using the commands as
superuser,
so it has permisson to "use" the process, I wasn't running anything as
normal user.

@Stan: I tought about cleaning YUM database and making cache, but it didn't
worked.
Any YUM command returned the same output.

Anyway, thank's for your help. problem seem to be solved.
