Yes, me as well. I uninstalled the packages that were giving me errors (a lot of them), then did a yum update (ie. Update all). Last I reinstalled the packages I previously removed, and then did another yum update. I won't boor you with the dozen things I tried before that! I first saw the problem with up2date, which was failing worse than yum. My system "seems" stable now, and yum is my friend again. All the best.

Most recent update (yum update) on my FC3 x86_64 installation yielded; Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/tab2space from install of kdewebdev-3.4.2-0.fc3.1 conflicts with file from package tidy-0.99.0-2.20040916 file /usr/bin/tidy from install of kdewebdev-3.4.2-0.fc3.1 conflicts with file from package tidy-0.99.0-2.20040916 Don't really know what to do with that.
