Thanks for the help. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. I tried installing YUM again and then immediately executed rpm -q but is shows YUM to not be installed. Please see actual output below. # rpm -iv yum-2.4.1-1.src.rpm warning: yum-2.4.1-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 69886cc7 yum-2.4.1-1 warning: user skvidal does not exist - using root warning: group skvidal does not exist - using root warning: user skvidal does not exist - using root warning: group skvidal does not exist - using root # rpm -q yum-2.4.1-1.src.rpm package yum-2.4.1-1.src.rpm is not installed Paul Conn -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Perrin Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 11:24 AM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: Re: [Yum] YUM install error "warning: user skvidal does not exist -using root" > > rpm -q yum and it should be installed.
