This string was copied from "Fedora 15 won't do automatic updates" since 
it applies to a totally different subject.

First some background:
I upgraded from F13 to F14 using preupgrade some months ago.  I like to 
stay one release back from the most current release.  I like to be on 
the cutting edge but I have an aversion to bleeding.

After a while I began to get upgrade notices about gimp that would not 
install due to a missing dependency.  That was when I noticed that it 
was trying to install an F13 package.  After much effort trying to 
resolve the missing dependency I decided to run preupgrade again on Sun 
Jul 10.  That solved the problem with the gimp package but now I don't 
seem to be getting any package update notices.

Enough with the background already:

I spent some time in Google looking for instructions on how to 'verify 
the version of your "fedora-release" package' but came up empty.  Could 
you elucidate this point more thoroughly.

As you suggested I checked /etc/yum.repos.d/ for a hard coded reference 
to F13.  The only hard coded reference to F13 was a line in 
packagekit-media.repo.  I changed the line in packagekit-media.repo
from name=Fedora 13
to name=Fedora 14

The output of "yum -v repolist" after the change is:
