TypeError: Parsing primary.xml error: Start tag expected, '<' not found
I have tried 'yum clean all', 'yum --noplugins', 'rm -r /var/cache/yum/*',
deleting all yum packages and reinstalling, and nothing helps
If I copy /var/cache/yum/* from a working machine all is well
I have used md5sum to check the downloaded files and they match the files
on a working machine
If I disable the addons repo the other repos load ok
Also rpmforge repo breaks yum
What else might I try
yum clean all didn't help it?
no
Are you perhaps running out of disk space somewhere?
no
got gigs free
B/c the above says you have a damaged primary.xml file - probably in the
'addons' repo.
correct
if i disable addons repo all is well
md5sum shows the primary.xml.gz file is the same as the one on working
machines
is there anything 'funny' about this system?
yes, yum does not work :)
it has been running as configured for several years
i ran 'yum update' to update from 5.3 to 5.4
update had no problems
i performed the same update on several other machines and had no problem
all machines are configured pretty much the same
all machines are 32 bit
