I had an error doing a yum update (using version yum-3.2.25-1.fc12 ) I got this error to report at the address below, but I couldn't find a link to add it there. (I didn't spend too long trying though) yum --noplugins update ...long list of downloads (including the newer yum) ...then.. Total 8.9 MB/s | 739 MB 01:22 warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba updates/gpgkey | 3.2 kB 00:00 ...

(1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report']) To fix it I do the following yum erase kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64-190.53-1.fc12.1.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64-190.53-1.fc12.4.x86_64 which deletes two old version of the nvidia driver. then run a yum update again and it all works. At the suggestion of Seth, I have run > The issue is that you have kernel modules installed and you're removing > the older kernel due to an update. Those kernel modules are not being > removed. > Here's something you can test for me, though: > yum -d 5 remove kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 # yum -d 5 remove kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 Not loading "blacklist" plugin, as it is disabled Not loading "whiteout" plugin, as it is disabled Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, presto, refresh-packagekit, security Config time: 0.043 Yum Version: 3.2.25 rpmdb time: 0.043 Setting up Remove Process No Match for argument: kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 Setting up Package Sacks pkgsack time: 0.495 No Packages marked for removal # I have the workaround... but mention this in case something needs fixing...I have quite a few machines in this state, so I can test anything people suggest..
