Hello,
I setup a local yum repository on a fedora core 3 box. The box serves
both fedora core 2 and fedora core 3 updates. I have run both the yum-arch
and createrepo for both. The yum server seems to work, as I have updated 4
boxes from this server.
In order to talk to the yum server, all 4 boxes mentioned above are set
up to go through a proxy. I believe my http_proxy is set correctly as the
boxes do update.
However, the problem I am having occurs when I try to update a file that
contains + (plus) characters. It appears the http proxy interprets plus's as
%2B. For example, when trying to update gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.fc3.i386.rpm the
following occurs:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yum/redhat/fc3/updates/i386/gcc-c%2B%2B-3.4.3-22.fc3.i386.rpm
[errno 4]
The file gcc-c++-3.4.3-22.fc3.fc3.i386.rpm is present and even tried copying
the original to a name that contains the %2B. I am not a wiz with proxy's,
but it appears there is an interpretation problem somewhere. Does anyone
have any ideas on how to solve this. I am usually able to find the answer
online, but this one has stumped me.
Thanks
dave
