Perhapin the light of the recent thread regarding users' permissions
to install packages, I have a quick question : in Rawhide I typed

something, or...?
that cleans out the local user cache for yum.
yum in about 3.2.23 started making a user cache in
/var/tmp/yum-$username-randomchars and using that for when a user
wished to search/list/etc transactions.
so now yum clean all, invoked as a user, cleans out that cache.
-sv
Thanks, that explains why my yum clean all worked but didn't solve my
problems with presto hashes. I had to do it as root. Maybe the message
can read "cleaning user's repository" instead of cleaning everything. It
is misleading.
