Yum is hosed. After checking out bugzilla, it looks like yum can get corrupted, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to rebuild the /var/cache/yum/* files needed to run yum properly. Clearing out the cache directory and running 'yum check-update' yields the following unhelpful traceback: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base CacheDir: /var/cache/yum/base Getting header.info from server failover: baseURL = http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1 failover: path = /headers/header.info headerinfofn: /var/cache/yum/base/header.info Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 188, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 766, in get_package_info_from_servers File "clientStuff.py", line 103, in HeaderInfoNevralLoad ValueError: unpack list of wrong size This is consistent with the Bugzilla stuff, for which there is no listed fix. How can I rebuild/restore yum? -- Todd's "Customer Disservice Hall of Shame" currently contains: - Charter Communications: Mislead their customers about services, and block Internet connectivity. - AT&T: Honoring the "checks" they send out to entice you to switch long-distance providers is apparently optional. - eFax: Receive (not send) 20 pages of *unsolicited* faxes, and lose your account.
