It was actually just a link to the other directory (73, and 73newer). When I was in transition to actually make 73newer, newer (remove the link, make a new directory and put the new stuff in), I thought I'd see what type off error yum would send. And that was what I got. It is an http server. On another note. When I brought the server down completely I got a more normal message of # yum update nedit Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: 7.1.1 mail IOError: [Errno socket error] (111, 'Connection refused') URL: http://yort.fnal.gov/fermi/711/i386/RedHat/RPMS/headers/header.info # Which is actually what I expected when I removed the directory the first time.
