A couple of days ago I run yum update to take care of installing new updates
for evolution.i386, evolution-data-server.i386 and nscd.i386 . The update
went through with no fuss. Yesterday when I ran check-update I got the exact
same updates list. So I did not run yum update, thinking this was a sync
error or a repo issue.
Today (just a few minutes ago) I ran the update check again and got the same
list. So I ran yum clean all and now I get a different error, detailed below.
Anyone know why this happens or what to do? I see the epel mirror has changed
but don't know why or what to make of it. Advice welcome.
