Could please you possibly do a list of all the installed RPMs on the system in question. Just for cause do a grep to list any packages like "rf" = rpmforge, "jason or "litka" "centos"
There no longer any rpm packages with "jason" or "litka", there are a few with "centos"

See end of email for list of all packages.
Just by thought and maybe this is going to far off the subject. If it is I appologize. What lets yum run the correct way when fastest mirror is not loaded as a plugin? That there in sense does not sound right at all. The thing that makes me think is a possible botched yum update that yums meta data was hijacked and in turn got packages that were bugged or malwared? IE...The Lateness of the update from the mirrors. Makes me think. I know I know it's just a question.
I'll keep my eye out for this. For the record, the one and only "non- standard" repo I used was http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/ - It was recommended in the CentOS forums. People seem to know the guy and trust him from what I read. Later, I removed all the packages I installed from that site (*.jason) and re-installed similar packages from CentOS-Testing repo.
