Linux cmccabe-fc2 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Running Fedora Core 2 Test3, yum worked wonderfully for the first "yum upgrade" (646 packages and no problems), which took yum from 2.0.7-0.20040416 to 2.0.7-1.1. After that "yum upgrade/update" would give: [root@cmccabe-fc2 packages]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/headers/head er.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i38 6/os/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden rmp -e yum ; rpm -ihv yum-2.0.7-0.20040416.noarch.rpm and everything worked again. Tried this twice with the same results. 20040416 keeps working flawlessly. I'm no Linux god, but I can follow instructions if you need anything else.
