You've messed up your repository definitions somehow. Verify the definition of the "dries" repository. It looks as if you replaced the baseurl= with the URL of the fedora-release package, which is not correct at all.

Sorry, didn't know any better.
Keeping an eye on the output, Yum kept pointing to the dries.repo, and becoming desparate I Stuck a URL in there hoping..and waiting for the errors.
fc5 is broken here along with a bunch of services and links. Still trying to update to 10, and then reading how important staying updated is.
There must be a .conf file somewhere to change and make it point correctly?
Is there even a dries respository anymore? The seven now showing in repos.d look ancient.

Shouldn't I just delete all of them and build (one) correctly?
My back is really against the wall. I now show no DVD or USB so I can't ISO an image, and Just read if updating from HD you can't ISO files on partitions controlled by LVM. Isn't LVM my Gui??

---- if you are attempting to use yum to go from FC-5 to F10, I would suggest that you forget that. Then the fact that you have packages from 3rd parties just simply piles on to the skills required to accomplish the task, especially considering that the interim fedora repositories have disappeared.
Best to back up /home and install F10 new/clean from live-CD or DVD

In above baseurl you did something that won't work. The baseurl= parameter must point to a location, which contains a "repodata" directory. Yum expects to find the repository metadata files in there and appends repodata/repomd.xml to the baseurl path prior to trying to download the repository index file.
For Yum-based distribution upgrades (e.g. from FC5 to F10) you need to adjust all relevant baseurl parameters to point to valid locations for the target distribution. Typically one upgrades the "fedora-release" manually, so one can keep pristine repository definition files and rely on the $releasever variable to expand to "10" automatically.
