Yeah, as I said, it does require a recent(y) yum and
a recent(y) install to have tracked all the packages properly.
F17 is possibly too old.

I am going to suggest you install F20 clean.  Fedora
upgrades have often left surprises behind (fedup has
gotten better, but I recall quite regularly finding stuff
that I needed to manually fix or remove).  You also
get to test your disaster recovery documentation.
What could go wrong?

If you no longer have the atrpms repo installed, you
could try:
   package-cleanup --orphans
if nothing else, it might also identify other detritus
from a F17 to F20 upgrade.

As a last resort, since you are sure you have some older
atrpms myth packages around, you could do a find across
your base /etc, /usr, and /var filesystems looking for
a filename which includes myth, and then use rpm to
determine what package owns that file.  Slow, but,
in theory, it would work. (rpm -qf <file_name>).
And, the really ugly approach, just do the rpm -qf
for every file on your file system, and make sure
you know (and accept) the origin.
