Hello I am new to YUM and thought I'd give it a try. I have yum-2.0.6-1 installed. I get the same error when I run any yum command : [root@canada etc]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error > [root@canada etc]# rpm -q yum yum-2.0.6-1 [root@canada etc]# Can anyone shed some light ???
