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 Resolving Dependencies 1165869483.49 --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. 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: --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
