Yes. Notice it's looking for "updates-released-fc3". Since we are so
close to release date, they change the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file
to point to the locations for FC3. But those are of course not what you
want.

The RPM transaction should have saved the old sources file as
sources.rpmsave. So:

# cd /etc/sysconfig/rhn
# mv sources sources.rpmnew
# mv sources.rpmsave sources

And you should be back in business.

Cheers,
