lost and found ( for me ? )

Fedora 17 64bit : can’t update via yum ( the result is always “no packages marked for update” )

I have one desktop machine and one laptop machine and I have installed Fedora 17 64bit on both boxes.
Whenever I try to update packages with “yum update” on the desktop machine , the result is always “No Packages marked for Update”
I , however , can update packages with “yum update” on the laptop machine.


[root@f17-64 ~]# uname -ri
3.5.5-2.fc17.x86_64 x86_64
[root@f17-64 ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)

[root@f17-64 ~]# yum update -y
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
No Packages marked for Update

After issuing “yum clean all” , I can update packages.
[root@f17-64 ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Cleaning repos: fedora google-chrome updates
Cleaning up Everything

[root@f17-64 ~]# yum update -y

Complete!
[root@f17-64 ~]#

Seen from /var/log/yum.log , I can not update packages after Oct 12th.
[root@f17-64 ~]# egrep "Oct" /var/log/yum.log | awk '{print $1,$2}' | uniq | tail -2
Oct 12
Oct 18

It seems that there is any problem with yum-related data such as metadata , headers etc...
