Wrong (again) :-) In my first mail of this thread I described the problem. Here are my posts (again): ### Hello, The latest version of yum doesn't seem to use the local cache. If for some reason, yum -y update has to be restarted (dependency problem, conflicts), it begins to download all the files from the top, including those were previously downloaded. Is this a bug or a feature? ### And the second one, with required informations: ### On Friday 10 September 2004 10:57, seth vidal wrote: > 1. what version of yum yum-2.1.3-1 > 2. why do you say it's downloading things over and over again? I say it because it happens. First time, it stopped with "Error: xorg-x11-font-utils conflicts: xorg-x11-base-fonts<= 6.7.99.903-3" and after I manually installed xorg-x11-font-utils yum -y update started to download all the files from the beginning. I noticed this on a PC at home, it was not a problem since bandwidth is plenty but I'm doing the same thing on a machine at work where I have 512 kbps. I don't want to think about dial-up users... ### If and only if yum gets an error like the one before, it will download again all files, will just ignore the files allready downloaded. I'm absolutely sure about this, it happen on two distict machines, both with rawide, I even checked with tcdump to see if there is any bits flow. Otherwise, yum uses the files in cache, but it does not if you get a conflict (like the one that I had, "Error: xorg-x11-font-utils conflicts: xorg-x11-base-fonts<= 6.7.99.903-3"). Meanwhile, yum is a great tool and you are doing a great job. I'm just trying to help. -- -- Alin Osan
