Hello Was hoping to get some help with uing yum. I am new to linux and have only had a weeks experience and using yum is one thing I am having trouble with. I cant seem to get it running and really want to get all the updates to see if it is either me or my machine lacking the files needed to get other things I am try to get going going. I start the konsole shell and try the following command: > [drussi@localhost drussi]$ yum list and this is what I get after it: > Gathering package information from servers > Getting headers from: Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 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' > [drussi@localhost drussi]$ Has anybody ever experienced this. Can anyone help me out to get it runnning I am really hanging and have no idea why I get the last line before the prompt returns for me to try again to get yum working and end up with the same result. Thanks.
