Markku Kolkka said that I needed yum-2.3.2-7.noarch.rpm from FC4 disc 1. I installed that and indeed everything works fine: when I clicked the up2date button, it imported yum, and I got all the updated packages installed. The only annoyance is that most of the packages were not signed with GPG signatures and I was prompted with the warnings a hundred of times. I wish I knew how to turn them off. I am a bit puzzled by the talk that up2date is broken on FC4. It seems to work (via yum) for me, except that the blue check button is misleading. So I have not used yumex. But I did download it too and could try it next time.
