Seth, >> how did you install the other yum? << After sleeping on that question, I have a better answer: According to /root/.bash_history the first was installed by: rpm -Uvh yum-2.0.4-20031205.noarch.rpm According to the yum.log file the second was from: 02/13/04 16:53:51 Updated: yum 2.0.5-1.fd.fr.noarch 02/13/04 was also the last time that yum update worked. My instinct is to manually remove both and install: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm But, this is a test box. Is there anything else I can do? Cliff Kent
