Before it happend on this occasion, I forgot to disconnect modem internet connection when powering down computer the session before, upon re-boot, I got an error trying to connect to the internet with kppp telling me there was another instance running and told me to delete the pid something in /root/.kde somewhere, I quit kppp and tried again with success without deleting this pid thing. Then got this exception when using GUI software updater, shut everything down and re-booted and got same problem. This is the first time it happened twice in a row.

Can you post your config file(/etc/yum.conf) and your /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files? I think one of them has a typo in it that is causing the problem you're having.

I had tried to update a couple times after submiting the bug to no avail either through GUI or CLI, I also noticed as I shut down that copy of Fedora (as I have two newer one since), that yum updatesd showed (failed). The attachments are from affected copy.
in your yum.conf you have: # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [atrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/fc$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms gpgcheck=1 see the 'space' in front of [atrpms] get rid of the space. see if it works.
Yes that appears to be the animal that you need to hunt down, I took out the space and used the GUI, it did the scan and presented a list. I quit to come to this third copy of Fedora to retrieve rpms in the caches to avoid re-downloading. I had just imported that key not to long before this event (bug), I got the import information at this site: http://www.fedorafaq.org/ I also noticed there is a notice (warning) at the top of the page, not sure if I seen it when I was there last. So now I will transfer the rpms to their respective caches and try to update it, if I say no more here, everything's cool.
After looking back at past steps, it appears I may have set up atrpms repo from http://atrpms.net/install.html as I also noticed a new atrpm cache folder, also noticed a atrpm update as I applied updates. End
