Sorry John, it was kind of a reflex poiting to use a mirror. I should have annotated a bit more in this case. You try to get the core files - in this specific case the spamassassin package - from the redhat.com server which is under pressure. You have no mirror specified for core! The second source is even a mirror but it is only configured for updates to FC1 and SA is no update package. So normal think as redhat.com can actually not handle all the accesses as people do not use mirrors as sources. Just edit your source file again and choose a mirror for the FC1 core too. > > Are there any gurus that can help shed some light on this problem? Is it > > just a bad RPM? > > > > Thanks, > > John V.
