There is a bunch of problems on your system, none of which points to a bug in yum. mod_python: duplicate of bug 912012 10 other pre-existing rpmdb problems: looks like a fedup issue, probably solved in newer versions. To solve these pre-existing problems, you either need to manually install missing requirements or uninstall the packages depending on them.

Hi Jan, I upgraded to v18 some months ago so this couldn't cause by a recent upgrade. I haven't been experiencing any issue with the updates since then but the today's error. I updated the system manually. but the remaining httpd package and its dependencies are still presenting the same error so httpd can't be updated until this issue has fixed.

Ok, but the rest of my previous comment still stands. You have to uninstall mod_python (it is discontinued in F18+), then the upgrade might work. However I'd still recommend solving those problems in rpmdb (as described above), they indicate broken state of a part of your system.
Hi Jan, I removed the mod_python as you suggested and also rebuilt the rpmdb and cleared the yum. Problem has solved now. No further package to install after the last "yum update" and no error message either. * * * [root@lzoom ~]# rpm -e mod_python [root@lzoom ~]# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpm --rebuilddb [root@lzoom ~]# yum clean metadata && yum clean dbcache && yum clean rpmdb * * * Your help was much appreciated. Kind Regards Norbert
I'm glad to head that however rpm --rebuilddb was not what I was referring to when talking about rpmdb cleanup. Run yum check to see if you have any broken deps on your system (previous messages suggested that you do). The cleanup of those broken deps is what I was originally talking about.
Hi Jan, I found some v17 packages that seem deprecated now and weren't removed during the upgrade to v18. libboost_thread libboost_thread-mt openvrml-xembed openvrml-mozilla-plugin-0.18.9-3.fc17.i686 libopenvrml-xembed openvrml-xembed libopenvrml-gl libopenvrml After the removal of the packages above command "yum check" gives no error back. * * * [root@lzoom ~]# yum check Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, security check all [root@lzoom ~]# * * * Thanks Kind Regards Norbert
