This is repeatable? :) That name does not resolve for me (which may not be surprising) so I can't test that url. Try this for me: python /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/yum/urlgrabber.pyc http://midrangeweb.principal.com/pub/updates/7.3/en/os/headers/header.info header.info (that should all be on one line) I _may_ have the urlgrabber.pyc path wrong, so correct it if I do. Tell me what happens when you do that. I expect that to fail if your problem is repeatable. If it does fail, do this: python <<EOF import urllib fo = urllib.urlopen("http://midrangeweb.principal.com/pub/updates/7.3/en/os/headers/header.info";) ofo = open('/tmp/header.info', 'w') ofo.write(fo.read()) EOF And tell me what happens with that. > [root@ul055 os]# rpm -q redhat-release rpm rpm-python yum > redhat-release-7.3-1 > rpm-4.0.4-7x.18 > rpm-python-4.0.4-7x.18 > yum-1.0.3-1_80 > > [root@ul055 os]# host midrangeweb > midrangeweb.principal.com is an alias for ul055.principal.com. Neither of these resolve for me, but it still gives me a different error than you're getting. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
