There was a change in the data format for yum a few versions back--about
a month ago. You have the olderversion. If you upgrade yum, the upgrade
process should do the conversion for you. I guess it makes it easier to
edit. For example, if a particular repository goes down, you just rename
the file and it doesn't get in the way.

One of the downsides of yum is that a repo that's off line will keep the
entire process from working. On the other hand, they've introduced a
round robin process, so the basic fedora repos should always be
available via some mirror somewhere.

Oh, you really do have an old version of yum. Absolutely upgrade. >
