I try to update my system and it seems to be impossible using yum (I have already sent some messages). First attemp: ----> [root@totoche root]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core Server: FreshRPM Server: JPackage 1.5 for Fedora Core 1 Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) retrygrab() failed for: http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/headers/header.info Executing failover method Server: Fedora Core 1 NewRPMS.sunsite.dk Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .Package mplayer-mencoder needs libxvidcore.so.2, this is not available. <---- libxvidcore.so.2 belongs to xvidcore-0.9.2-0.lvn.1.1 which is in livna repository!!! Second attemp (for the fun, it occurs many times): ---> [root@totoche root]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Damaged or Bad header.info from Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base This is probably because of a downed server or an invalid header.info on a repository. <---- Tried two or three times more, changing repositories, then: [root@totoche root]# rpm -e mplayer-mencoder Next attempt: ---> [root@totoche root]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core Server: FreshRPM Server: JPackage 1.5 for Fedora Core 1 Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Fedora Core 1 NewRPMS.sunsite.dk Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers mplayer-mencoder-0-0.92-0 100% |=========================| 4.0 kB 00:00 Resolving dependencies ......Unable to satisfy dependencies Package php-domxml needs libxsltbreakpoint.so.1, this is not available.

So, I changed my yum.conf: .... exclude=zinf* php-domxml xmms* mplayer* ..... Last attempt (after many others with errors in headers, url not found, whatever....): ---> [root@totoche root]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core Server: FreshRPM Server: JPackage 1.5 for Fedora Core 1 Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Fedora Core 1 NewRPMS.sunsite.dk Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .Package mplayer needs libxvidcore.so.2, this is not available. <---- I recall: mplayer is excluded in yum.conf, but yum doesn't care!
