[tim@william 2004]$ yum --version
2.1.11
[tim@william 2004]$ python -V
Python 2.4b2

As I said, I upgraded from FC-3 test3 to FC-3,
and yum worked perfectly,
until _after_ I downloaded some 200 rpms with "yum upgrade".
I see (from yum.log) that this did upgrade both yum and python.

The settings in /etc/yum.repos.d/ are those that came with FC-3;
each of the files
==================================
fedora-devel.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
==================================
gives a "mirrorlist" URL.

Incidentally, I just tried "yum update" on two other computers,
and it failed on both:
==================================
[tim@blanche ~]$ sudo yum update

==================================

Has anyone successfully run "yum update" _twice_ under FC-3?
If so, did you alter the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ in some way?
If you did, you post one of these files,
and also perhaps your /etc/yum.conf .
