This reminds me of a situation when one of the servers I have in my yum.conf is temporarily not accessble (max nr. of FTP connections or other woes). IIRC yum refused to do any further work when it enountered such a server, whereas I would have appreciated if it'd just tell me about it and continue with the other repositories because the package I wanted to install was in a repo that was working perfectly... This was some time ago and I haven't checked whether the current yum versions handle it "better". I like the way apt handles this, which is essentially what's outlined above. Of course, some repos could be marked "essential" or something in yum.conf, meaning that it's always a no go if one of these servers isn't available. -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fi
