Forum-
When I this suggested fix, 'yum update kdebase', yum only looks at the local files. It then reports it has nothing to update.
How do I provoke (or command) yum to go out to the repository and get the update info?

if you have yum-2.4.1-3 installed yum clean metadata should work to override the timebased metadata caching.
If you have yum-2.4.1-1 or -2 installed then delete the files named "cachecookie" in the /var/cache/yum/ directory tree.

search this list history for "cachecookies"
the situation changed with today's rawhide update. yum clean metadata works with today's yum update, you don't need the workarounds that were needed earlier this week. In fact, I would strongly discourage people from continuing to use the workarounds now that clean metadata works.

That's very good from now on, but the o/p has probably been unable to complete a yum update due to the failed deps, so won't have the new yum yet ;-)
try just yum update yum

yum update "kd*" should pull in all packages and related deps for kde.
