I had other things to do and came back 4 hours later but this is all I can get out of it now: [root@coyote yum]# yum check-update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Error getting file http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/headers/header.info [Errno 1] Bad URL: bad marshal data It may try other mirrors on each invocation, but the error message remains the same even though I've now totally cleaned out the /var/cache/yum subdir so it would have to start from scratch. Yum, when it works, works mostly ok, but when it doesn't want to work, its a certifiable bitch, and its been way more bitch than helper in the long view here. Its virtually single-handedly destroyed my system twice now, ripping out ghostscript and ALL its dependencies yesterday and refused to re-install them. That was my main reason for even putting the fc2 disks in the drive in the first place. But, it comes closer to working than up2date: [root@coyote yum]# up2date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1271, in ? sys.exit(main() or 0) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 882, in main from up2date_client import gui File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 16, in ? import gtk File "/usr/share/rhn/__init__.py", line 43, in ? ImportError: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_fc_font_map_cache_clear Does that offer a clue? Or synaptic, which IIRC has a problem with this same file, and I now have all links named libpangoxft.so pointing to /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.399 in an attempt to fix that. If this is suppoed to be an FC2 install, how many of the older python2.x trees can I prune in /usr/lib? Right now, I feel like Jimmy Buffet, its got to be 5 oclock somewhere. Hell, its even 5:09pm here! -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
