FC3 has been EOL'd last spring, FC4 in autumn. ATrpms stopped support
for both on New Year. This was announced a couple of times on various
spots.

In theory all you have to do is change your depsolver config to point
to FC6 and upgrade. The practice looks much more complicated because
there are three releases in between.

a) backup your system
b) Upgrade using the FC6 DVD
c) Fix all FC3 references in depsolver config to point to FC6 content
d) Use your favourite depsolver to update the rest
