[YUM] Still problems with NTLM only authentication and YUM

[ez]

Ok... This is still irratating ... Did some more research and found
the following pertaining to the error message I had before  :
"I have the below and a busted yum.
sqlite-3.1.2-1
python-sqlite-1.1.6-1
The list dicussion might be clearer.
rpm with the --oldpackage option might revert the builds. You might
need the --nodeps option also, but I don't know."

But since there is a new a yum... and a new fedora core...
fc4
yum-2.3.3-1
I installed them and am still getting error messages...  

Could someone lend a hand and point me in a direction?  Here is the error:
[root at blinux2 etc]# yum -y update
