zif is not yum compatiable and it was using yum private data.
The quoted text was from a zif package description.
In any case you totally miss the point which was updating a system.
if yu want to
use zif to manage your packages you must remove yum.
I do not particularly care about zif and its documentation is
emphatic that it should not be used directly but only through yum
and/or PackageKit so, if its documentation is correct, installing
it by itself would be rather sensless.
you would have had to
install it AFAIK though maybe packagekit brought it in at some
point.
That "maybe" is what is all of this is about. Otherwise I would not
even know that such thing exists.
