I upgraded a working F13 x86_64 to F14 x 86_64 from a downloaded DVD which verified and then went to do a "yum update" after the upgrade from the DVD.
I am getting the following message:

Any ideas what went wrong and why I am looking for i386 updates?
You are looking for an i386 update because yum is looking for an update for some RPM that is already installed on your system as an i386 RPM.
You didn't including the command line you used with yum (or did you use some gui tool?). Was this as a part of the DVD updgrade, I thought you said it was afterward, which would indicate that yum is looking for updates for *all* of your installed software.
PYCURL ERROR 6 is one of those errors that comes from a "tool" yum is using to do some of its heavy lifting, and yum has decided to present you with the raw error message from that tool, instead of interpreting it for you.
(Quality software, tastefully presented!)
If you google "PYCURL ERROR 6", you will find lots of posts asking what it means. Most of them allude to either a non-working network connection, or a missing target of an attempted download.
So, from that I would gather that either your network isn't working, or the target file that yum was attempting to download (.../repodata/repomd.xml) could not be found on the server it attempted to download it from....
If it is a transient error (at adobe.com), it should clear up after a while. (Are you getting other files updated outside of this repo?)
Does everything work OK if you disable the troublesome repo?
The command used was a simple "yum update".
The problem turned out to in fact be the network. Somehow the upgrade had caused Network Manager to be a "Dead Process" but had not destroyed the cache.
Found this out when I opened the browser and the format of the home page would come up but no content which got me looking at the Network Manager.
Thanks for the help all!
