More... I've added AddType application/x-yumhdr .hdr to httpd.conf. Now lynx lets me get the file ok but I still get the following error when I run # yum check-update ----------------------------------------------------------- Unable to find pid Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 - Base Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 249, in main (uplist, newlist, nulist) = clientStuff.getupdatedhdrlist(HeaderInfo, rpmDBInfo) File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 478, in getupdatedhdrlist newlist.remove((name, hdr_best_arch)) ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list -------------------------------------------------------- Any help appreciated.
