Description of problem: Starting approximately Friday Oct 31, up2date starting indicating that the system was up-to-date when it was run (gui or nox). It does not appear to be seeing any of the i386 packages which were updated including fedora-release, mozilla-*, openoffice-*, and rpmdb-fedora. Today, when some noarch packages were update, those were seen but NOT downloaded properly. Manually downloading with ftp (from rawhide) got packages which had good signatures and successfully installed.
I tried "yum list" and it only sees noarch packages also. This is probably a server problem rather than the packages themselves.
Yes, it's a server issue, it's being resolved in the next day or two.
