I'm able to get around it by just using rpm, but I lose the some of the benefits provided by yum.? > Thanks in advance for your help! > you're probably not wrong. 1. what ver of yum? - 2.6.1 (running on RHEL4) 2. what is generating the repodata on the repository side - The repos reside on shared NAS. All clients have identical yum.conf files. One master servers creates all repos hourly to keep up-to-date with package changes. 3. what pkgs got added to the repo yesterday? - There were 19 packages added on the 11th, but they're all internal pkgs, none from external sources. On top of that, most of the folks creating the packages are new to rpm and Linux. 4. can you post your primary.xml.gz file? - Sadly, no. I'm not sure what data is in there, and since all of the packages are from internal sources here, I could find my self in a World of Hurt if I publish the contents of our rpms on the interwebs. Here's another question: Is there a debug statement that I could add to one (or more) of the python scripts that would be able to spit out details as the progress hash makes its way across the screen? I suppose I'll start moving packages out of the way and see if anything sticks. Thanks again!
