Come to that, the error message sounds like yum didn’t like the format
of a file it downloaded. Try disabling all but one repo and see what
happens.

For example,
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates check-update

Then try disabling all but another one. Once you've identified the repo,
see if there are any other problem reports and/or try forcing yum to use
a different mirror (try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo).

Hope this helps,

James.
