Yum update is crashing. I did a yum clean all, but that doesn't help.

what happens if you update 1 package ? (pick a simple one, w/o lots of deps)
Come to that, the error message sounds like yum didn’t like the format of a file it downloaded. Try disabling all but one repo and see what happens.
For example, yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=updates check-update
Then try disabling all but another one. Once you've identified the repo, see if there are any other problem reports and/or try forcing yum to use a different mirror (try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo).
Hope this helps,
James.
