This is my first foray into RHEL5 and so far change is not so good. I was quite comfortable with up2date, but alas it is not part of 5. Locate doesn't seem to work very well either, but that is another story. I am having some problems getting yum to run at all and I am not quite sure if it's yum or python, as I am familiar with neither one. This is compounded by the fact that I am behind a proxy and I am not completely sure that I am getting through it with what ever yum is using to get there. Currently, when I run yum I get the following: [root@fsh1166db07x Server]# yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 359, in doCommands return self.yum_cli_commands[self.basecmd].doCommand(self, self.basecmd, self.extcmds) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yumcommands.py", line 150, in doCommand return base.updatePkgs(extcmds) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 628, in updatePkgs self.doRepoSetup() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 102, in doRepoSetup yum.YumBase.doRepoSetup(self, thisrepo=thisrepo) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 299, in doRepoSetup repo.setup(self.conf.cache) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 503, in setup self._loadRepoXML(text=self) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 530, in _loadRepoXML cache=self.http_caching == 'all') File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py", line 208, in _YumRepository__get start, end, copy_local, checkfunc, text, reget, cache) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py", line 276, in _noExceptionWrappingGet http_headers=headers, File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 927, in urlgrab return self._retry(opts, retryfunc, url, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 845, in _retry r = apply(func, (opts,) + args, {}) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 913, in retryfunc fo = URLGrabberFileObject(url, filename, opts) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 1001, in __init__ self._do_open() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 1072, in _do_open fo, hdr = self._make_request(req, opener) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 1172, in _make_request fo = opener.open(req) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 358, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 376, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 573, in <lambda> lambda r, proxy=url, type=type, meth=self.proxy_open: \ File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 597, in proxy_open return self.parent.open(req) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 358, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 376, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 337, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/m2urllib2.py", line 66, in https_open h.request(req.get_method(), req.get_full_url(), req.data, headers) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 804, in request self._send_request(method, url, body, headers) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 827, in _send_request self.endheaders() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/httpslib.py", line 145, in endheaders HTTPSConnection.endheaders(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 798, in endheaders self._send_output() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 679, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 646, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/httpslib.py", line 161, in connect self._start_ssl() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/httpslib.py", line 176, in _start_ssl self.sock.connect_ssl() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/M2Crypto/SSL/Connection.py", line 149, in connect_ssl return m2.ssl_connect(self.ssl, self._timeout) M2Crypto.SSL.SSLError: unknown protocol As I said before, I am not familiar with either yum or python. I have read the faqs and docs and wiki at DUKE and been through RH KB and am no further ahead. I really don't want to open a ticket with RH until I have to because that in itself is kinda painful. If anyone can point me in a proper direction I would appreciate. Thanks.
