yum update fails for 5.6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



google for "centos error performing checksum" refers to createrepo but of 
course "yum install createrepo" also fails and the instructions appear to be 
overkill.  Is there a "simple" soultion?

here's the result of yum update:

# yum -v update
