*DOH* That's what I get for messing with two servers. I was messing with a header file on one, and yumming to the other. So, don't touch a thing, it does what I want. But just so you know, it works best with an empty file. Here's what I get echo "X" > header.info gives me Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/sbin/yum", line 24, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 134, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 542, in get_package_info_from_servers File "clientStuff.py", line 103, in HeaderInfoNevralLoad ValueError: unpack list of wrong size ------- rm header.info gives me ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong URL: ftp://linux21.fnal.gov/linux/73rolling/i386/Fermi/workgroups/Farms/RPMS/headers/header.info ------ touch header.info gives me <nothing> Thanks Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
