I'm trying to update FC4T1 on a server at work, with a firewall and
proxy in place, and I'm running into problems. When I run yum update
or yum update somepackagename, I get the following error:
yum update acl

I ran the export ftp_proxy=proxy.company.com:80
http_proxy=proxy.company.com:80 and https_proxy=proxy.company.com:80.
I also setup the Redhat Network Configuration with Enable HTTP Proxy:
proxy.company.com:80. Should I be using port 80 or is there some
other reason this is failling?
