Please check to see if the package, fedora-release, created *.rpmnew 
files in /etc/yum.repos.d

If so, move them over top of the existing ones:

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# mv fedora.repo.rpmnew fedora.repo
# mv fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew fedora-updates.repo

...


You will recall that during the F9 phase, the Fedora gpg keys were in 
question, and so the repos were rebuilt with a .newkey extension.  I 
believe that is your problem.

The fedora.repo file is generally usable from version to version, with 
this one exception, created by the .newkey business.

To verify the issue before making any changes, look for the string 'new' 
in any of the /etc/repos.d/* files.  If there, they should NOT be for 
F10 and forward.

Good Luck!
