hi, i struggled for quite some time trying to get yum to run my updates for me, only to realize that my proxy configuration needed to change from: proxy=http://proxy:port to proxy=http://proxy:port/ missing the trailing slash at the end caused some nice python errors that took a lot of googleing to figure out, i would suggest mentioning an example in the yum.conf man page, to save some poor sys admin some grief. thanks. -- Hiren Patel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail and its contents are subject to the Telkom SA Limited e-mail legal notice available at http://www.telkom.co.za/TelkomEMailLegalNotice.PDF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
