From what I can see, yum doesn't detect/download the gnome-mime-data package/header of rhl-9-stock. ie. doing: yum list gnome-mime-data Only shows the installed gnome-mime-data of RH 8.0 but not the one from the rhl-9-stock repository. I also checked the /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers directory, and yum hadn't downloaded the gnome-mime-data header === more details: # yum list gnome-mime-data Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 stock @ dulug Server: Red Hat Linux 9 updates/errata @ dulug Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Looking in Available Packages: Name Arch Version Repo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Looking in Installed Packages: Name Arch Version Repo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- gnome-mime-data noarch 2.0.0-9 db # cat /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 [rhl-9-stock] name = Red Hat Linux 9 stock @ dulug baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/9/i386/ [rhl-9-updates] name = Red Hat Linux 9 updates/errata @ dulug baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/9/ # grep gnome-mime-data /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/header.info 0:gnome-mime-data-2.2.0-1.i386=RedHat/RPMS/gnome-mime-data-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm # ls -l /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers/gnome-mime-data-0-2.2.0-1.i386.hdr ls: /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers/gnome-mime-data-0-2.2.0-1.i386.hdr: No such file or directory Tried to download it myself: # cd /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers # wget http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/9/i386/headers/gnome- mime-data-0-2.2.0-1.i386.hdr but it didn't make any difference. yum list gnome-mime-data still didn't show it. # rpm -q yum rpm python rpm-python redhat-release yum-2.0.4-1 rpm-4.1.1-1.8x python-2.2.1-17 rpm-python-4.1.1-1.8x redhat-release-8.0-8 # rpm -Va --nomd5 --nofiles Gave no output.. so everything is ok.
