I had the same problem with similar responses regarding failure to locate headers/configuration files, and I had checked to see if everything was correct without finding any flaws in the configuration file. I decided to do an rpm ugrade just for the hell of it, and it's working now. However, it seems to be doing so relatively slow. Does anybody have a relevant information regarding this malfunction. As a side note, bitchx, along with mounting my usb memory stick, has been acting up. -Javier ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Christy <joe@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 10:46:26 -0800 To: Fedora <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: yum chokes looking for irrelevant headers > For the last day, yum on one of my two FC1 boxen chokes whenever I run it, > reporting: > > ... > Finding updated packages > Downloading needed headers > retrygrab() failed for: > > ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/fedora/core/updates/1/i386//headers/kernel-smp-0-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.athlon.hdr > Executing failover method > retrygrab() failed for: > > http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/headers/kernel-smp-0-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.athlon.hdr > Executing failover method > retrygrab() failed for: > > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/headers/kernel-smp-0-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.athlon.hdr > Executing failover method > failover: out of servers to try > Error getting file > ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/fedora/core/updates/1/i386//headers/kernel-smp-0-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.athlon.hdr > [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found > > What strikes me as particularly odd and annoying about this behavior is that > I'm running kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl on this (i686) box, so that particular > header should be irrelevant. > > I've tried running "yum clean" and "yum clean headers", changing the servers > listed in my yum.conf, overwriting all the header.info and .hdr files in > /var/cache/yum/*/ with those from my other FC1 box (which has no such > problems), all to no avail.
