I have had to rebuild my FC2 box and tried to use YUM to update the packages. It has downloaded all the new RPM files but I am getting the following error when it tries to install the packages
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 286 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 4f2a6fd2
I've no idea how to solve your problem, but it reminds me how bad the error messages in yum are - if it works (as it does 90% of the time) it is a marvellous resource. But if it fails, you can be sure the error message will be unintelligible.
The error above is not a problem with yum. It's a problem with rpm having a corrupt database. Try this and see if it works for you.
cd /var/lib/rpm rm __db*
run yum again and see if it complains.

I would rebuild the database first: rpm --rebuilddb
Err..yeah, that would probably be a good idea. It does pay to like you know, actually give helpful advice on my part eh?

Thanks
