Hello, I'm a fairly new FC1 user and have used the distribution for about 2 weeks now. I am able to use up2date to retrive updated packages and install them, but when running yum from the console, I receive an error:
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Error - /var/cache/yum/base/header.info cannot be found
Please ask you sysadmin to update the headers on this system.
/var/cache/yum/ does exists, though listing shows that it is empty.
My yum.conf looks like:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
#baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch
#[updates-testing]
#name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates
#baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-$releasever
The yum log does not exist in /var/log/. Does anyone have any ideas?
Best,
Brent
