Hi! So in attempting to make yum groupinstall (and friends) work I discovered that the each repo must have a yumgroups.xml file in order for the group commands to work (else one ends up with an urlgrab.error and a 'no such group exists' error). Is this designed this way or a bug? If so, can I just touch an empty yumgroups.xml file in my updates directories, or does it need to be a valid xml file that describes nothing? Currently just copying the same yumgroups.xml into everything makes it work, but I get a lot of 'Duplicate dependancies" warnings.. Thanks! -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby <nhruby@xxxxxxx> uga enterprise information technology services production systems support metaphysically wrinkle-free -------------------------------------------
