Giovanni,
Good thought. But that machine can reach port 80 on the mirrors...
nothing blocking it.
So it would appear that the problem is with yum itself... as installed
on the problem machine. But it's been working fine for years and
there's been no changes to yum.conf.
I've upped the debug level (to 4). I'll run that awhile and see what I get.
Thanks again.
