Okay,
I downloaded the yum rpms and installed them.
Then I did
>yum-arch /etc/src/redhat/RPMS
Then I did
>yum list updates
and I got:
[tony@localhost tony]$ yum list updates
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Red Hat Linux 8.0 base
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 44, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 141, in main
File "clientStuff.py", line 643, in get_package_info_from_servers
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/cache/yum/base'
My yum.conf looks like this:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
[base]
name=Red Hat Linux 8.0 base
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/8.0/i386/
[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux 8.0 updates
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/8.0/
What did I do wrong?
Tony
