    It has nothing do with Fedora 8. Execute this
    Code:
    ls /etc/yum.repos.d
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I have to check which repos you have installed. Installing conflicting repos create problems most of the time.

    Move adobe-linux-i386.repo and kirov.repo file to some other place and execute this
    Code:
    su -
    yum clean all
    yum update
    I would suggest you to install Graphical Interface of yum, Yum Extender.
    Code:
    yum -i install yumex
    Look for Yum Extender in Menu.
