That repo error is due to the bad "nss, nss-util, nspr critical path
security update" in updates-testing:

  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15612

It has been withdrawn already, but some mirrors offer it much longer than
what is displayed in bodhi.

Work-around is to downgrade the packages.
