Disable the 'addons' repo and your problem will be resolved.
That sounds like a bit of very random advice, given that Dave's dns is not responding - how would disabling the addons repo have an impact on Dave's nameserver ?

well I did disable addons and then was able to do the update. Then when I checked for available updates I got only three showing, all listed as epel. For the moment those updates are of no special importance so I'm happy to deal with other problems. Nonetheless I remained puzzled by both the original problem and the fix.
