Sometime early this week I noticed that yumex on my f8 system was not
showing any updates. I was getting the pup (?) notification that
updates existed but I couldn't see them in yumex.
Today I change my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_updates.repo file so I was
looking at baseurl instead of mirror list and yumex still did not show
any update but yum allowed me to add the 26 it showed as available.
I try to keep a watch on this list but I saw nothing about any
problems with mirrors or yum or yumex. I haven't touched my yum or
yumex set up, except to add livna, and even that I did with a rpm.
What did I miss? Anyone out there that can shed some light on what
might have happened or suggest some diagnostics for me?
Thanks,

Further data.... The yumex transcript shows the following when the
mirrors are activated:

. . . . .
and a whole bunch of repeats...
