I'm getting reports like "yum doesn't work from my home system", with errors like: $ yum upgrade Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories bulinux-devel 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 ftp://linst.bu.edu/yum/4.5/base/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] timed out Trying other mirror. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: bulinux-base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from bulinux-base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I had the user try "urlgrabber ftp://linst.bu.edu/yum/4.5/base/i386/repodata/repomd.xml"; and that works fine. Any guess what's going on here? -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
