Hi, I am having some problems with yum on a couple of machines (not really a yum problem). Occasionally one of the downloads gets corrupted and the yum update fails. This is not really a big deal except it sometimes takes me a couple of days to notice. At that point I go in and rm the offending file and all is well. The other problem I am having is that the rh8 systems get the dreaded rpmdb corruption that causes yum to hang indefinitely. Again it is easy to fix but it sometimes takes a couple of days to notice. For the corrupt download above I have added a yum clean packages to the nightly cron job. I am not sure that is the right answer but I have not come up with a better way. For the corrupt rpmdb I do not have an answer other than to look at each machine every few days. Is there a better way to manage this?? -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting ....
