Yum fails spectacularly a lot - and I miss it.

Hello,

 

I’ve been browsing the mailing list and newsgroups to no effect, so apologies in advance if this problem has been described and solved before.

 

I have a problem connecting to yum from both Linux machines in my office – one CentOS 4.4 box and a Fedora Core 4 machine. Up2date works fine on the CentOS box.

The CentOS box does this:

 

Reading repository metadata in from local files

Setting up Package Sacks

Excluding Incompatible Archs

Finished

Reading Local RPMDB

Parsing package install arguments

No other yumex installed, adding to list for potential install

reduced installs :

   yumex.noarch 0:1.0.2-1.0.c4

...and so on until it exhausts all mirrors.

I assume these are similar errors – I checked the mailing lists and whatever I could dig up on google and tried the proxy route – no joy, no love. According to my sysadmin there is no proxy on this network, and HIS Fedora Core 4 box does a yum update fine.  Can anyone tell me a) how I can get more detailed error information (yes, I have tried –e 10 and –d 10, they don’t actually tell me anything about the connection, just high-level stuff) and b)Whether there is any workaround for these issues. I have tried going the route of hard-coded ftp-only repos in the CentOS box and it responds with this:

Anyone?  Any ideas?
