if you are attempting to use yum to go from FC-5 to F10, I would suggest
that you forget that. Then the fact that you have packages from 3rd
parties just simply piles on to the skills required to accomplish the
task, especially considering that the interim fedora repositories have
disappeared.

Best to back up /home and install F10 new/clean from live-CD or DVD
