1. There were two non-standard repositories in the yum output:
>>> dries                     100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00
>>> newrpms.sunsite.dk        100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00

2. The yum output said it was going to update icewm:
>>> ---> Package icewm.i386 0:1.2.23-1.2.fc4.rf set to be updated

3. I googled for "icewm-1.2.23-1.2.fc4.rf" and saw that specific
    file was found in a repository called "dries".

4. I checked newrpms.sunsite.dk and it did not contain an
    icewm package.

Therefore, it must have been the "dries" repository.


If this were my own machine, I would have simply ran "yum list updates"
and seen which repository was the guilty party. Something like:

   # yum list updates | grep icewm
   icewm.i386                         0:1.2.23-1.2.fc4.rf          dries
