[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 Repository updates-released already added, not adding again Repository base already added, not adding again Setting up Update Process Setting up Repo: livna-stable http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/yum/stable/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.

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 . -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
