Hi, a while back Piero Calucci mentioned that yum-arch bails out ungainfully if it encounters a not-real rpm that happens to have a file name of .rpm. So I fixed that tonight. checked into cvs for HEAD and the rpm_4_2 branch oh and cvs instructions are up on the website if y'all have an interest in checking stuff out. OR you can go to: http://devel.linux.duke.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yum/ thanks -sv
