I must add that I installed yum-presto before this upgrade. When I saw that teh upgrade wouldn't be very straightforward, I decided I was maybe better to remove it. Which I did.

I just went through this.. yum --skip-broken seemed to allow me to install all non nss related rpms..

Sorry! I checked Google with one of my error string and it didn't show at the time. But I'll continue here as I later digress.

I didn't try skip-broken. I was afraid that if broken dependencies were skipped, it might cause further problems with installed software. Since it seems the latest kernel wasn't to fix security issues, I'll rather wait to update everything at once.
But that's not all that happened when I tried to update. As I already wrote, my terminal was no use: the black square after [bobo@myhost ~]$ was an empty box.
I don't remember exactly what happened then, but it's possible that I tried reentering the root account by typing:
su <password>
thinking that I might get a workable terminal as root. (Thinking so is probably stupid, but I guess I tried.)
When I came back to the GMail tab in Firefox, my password was right there! But that's not all yet!
When I tried to re-save what I had pasted in gedit, the file name suggested was:
Gmail - Inbox (# of message) - m.z.rieux@gmail.com.html
And the file already had a name! I had saved it before!
Whereas it was possible that my password entered Firefox because the terminal was kind of frozen, this one seems rather weird.
That was too many problems at once. Since I had found nothing on Google about the update problem, I feared being treated as a fool again.
I skipped this. Maybe, after all, I was being hacked, a matter you should not worry developers with, apparently.
I hope this update problem will be fixed soon. I tried an hour ago and it still wasn't. Will I have to do a
package-cleanup --problems OR package-cleanup --dupes OR rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
before yum reacts correctly again?
There's a new nvidia-settings package and I'm eager to see if it will fix my sound problem (not getting to TV through HDMI) and if my background 5x4 picture on my monitor will appear in 5x4 on my 16:9 TV and if 16:9 films will look 16:9 on the TV... in clone, or mirror, mode.
Otherwise, if upgrading the kernel is so often a problem with the nvidia module(1), I would rather switch to the Nouveau driver. The problem is I don't know what the Nouveau driver can't do besides 3D (which, since last month, is now experimental, but I don't give a damn.).
(1) Please don't talk to me about akmod. If rpmfusion has problems, I'm afraid I might have some too!
If I install a TV card, will the Nouveau driver work? How does it manage aspect ratios on clones? Same, better, worst than the Nvidia driver? These informations are hard to find, mainly a very peculiar kind called unbiaised :).
Even removing the nvidia driver scares me. When I installed, informations were dead wrong all over the place, except at rpmfusion. But rpmfusion gives no instructions to uninstall. There are some here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rdPartyVideoDrivers
but I didn't use the nvidia installer. *As far as I remember*, I got the key from nvidia. The repository was installed at the same time and I used yum for installing.
There certainly isn't a NVIDIA-Linux* file anywhere on my system.
When you google with "site:fedoraproject.org uninstalling OR removing nvidia driver with yum", suddenly, nothing is clear. If the driver can be installed with yum, why doesn't Fedora's site say it may be uninstalled with yum? I understand Fedora can't say how to install it, but what about getting back to non-proprietary software?
So, who knows? "yum remove", and everything will be in the original state or a new mess will be created that *I*, a non-expert, will need weeks to fix?
Yup, after a while facing one bug after another, you get scared.

Thanks, Aaron but, as I told Chris, I will wait for the complete fix. If I remember well, I used skip-broken once without any problem but, now, I'm always afraid of what will happen next.

I didn't try skip-broken. I was afraid that if broken dependencies were skipped, it might cause further problems with installed software.
From yum(1):
--skip-broken Resolve depsolve problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction.
IOW, yum is not going install something with a broken dependency. All --skip-broken does is tell yum to ignore this specific package and anything that depends on it, in the current run. You could even leave it permanently set in the config file and no harm done.

Umm skip broken should skip the things that are broken, it shouldn't allow anything that would leave you in a broken state.
This is seriously beginning to look like we have a Karl 3.0.

Same here, thanks. I tried the new nvidia-settings: the mess is much worst than the precedent. It seems Nvidia works hand in hand with Microsoft to get Linux users infuriated. So, how to I revert back to the nouveau driver? Will "yum remove kmod-nvidia" revert the system to the nouveau driver working with the most recent kernel?
yum does offer to remove kmod-nvidia.

You may have to edit your boot line in GRUB - the instructions for installing the NVidia drivers do point out that in some cases you amy need to modify them; if you've had to do that, you'll need to un-modify them.
