Sorry about that. I'm new to both yum and linux and still in the process of figuring out what to ask where. I think my followup question DOES pertain to yum... > yum --obsoletes update > > will fix it, though, using yum 2.1.3 Ok, so I did "yum update yum" and got 2.1.3. Cool. Now, however, when I run any yum command (eg. yum info yum) I get the following error: Setting up Repo: base repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I'm not sure what to try next here. My yum.conf looks standard (to my eyes): [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core /$releasever/$basearch/os/ [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/ updates/$releasever/$basearch/ #[updates-testing] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/ updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/ #[development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/ development/$basearch/ Is there some other file I need to configure somewhere? I've tried searching the web for more info on this and I'm unfortunately drawing a blank. Also, I don't find anything on --obsolete in the man docs (where should I be looking to research this stuff???) What exactly does --obsolete do? Any pointers would be appreciated.
