Fedora doesn't use RPMFORGE it uses rpmfusion-free and rpmfusion-non-free

As a temporary solution try
Code:
su -c 'yum --disablerepo=rpmforge update'
To permanently disable the rpmforge repo open /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo, find enabled=1 and change it to enabled=0, or just delete the file from the disk.

I have used your command and I got this output now, In the end I deleted the file from my harddisk but I still have to update system. Also if I run the update, I get this error too..

"No transaction to process"

I really don't know what is this.....

Any clues how to sort this error?

Thanks.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

What does yum repolist show now?
Code:
yum repolist
You can try
Code:
yum --exclude=libquicktime* update
How does one manage to enable the rpmforge repositories for something like Fedora 12 ???

it looks like you fell into the "rmpforge" TRAP
if you use that then YOU CAN ONLY use it
you can not use the standard fedora repo
THIS is very well documented in the fedora docs

remove ALL rf rpm's then try "yum clean all" and " rpm --rebuilddb "

now "some" rpm's from rf will not kill fedora but -- this is a big but
There is NO way to tell what ones .It is a crap shoot .
