Could you please tell me how to update the yum software on RHEL-5 ?
I want to update "yum tool" to the latest version so that I will get more options for installing the software using yum.
[root@pvfs3 ~]# uname -a

[root@pvfs3 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)

[root@pvfs3 ~]# yum --version

When I try to yum update /install a package .. it is listing the
packages to be updated and package downloading is also done ,,,but
suddenly it is quiting by giving some message as particular package is not
singed ,,,
After you determine the nature of the signing (ie you are very sure the package you are wanting to install is legitimate), you could use --nogpgcheck (at least this is available on current yum).
Another alternative would be to see if your yum has a --skip-broken option either built in or via a yum-plugin-skipbroken, and then yum update --skip-broken. Or you could specifically exclude the unsigned package with an -x package parameter.
