In fact, I haven't changed the enabled line in any of the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ - they are exactly as they were after I upgraded to FC-3, namely fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo have enabled=1 and the other twoi have enabled=0. To repeat, all I did was upgrade from FC3-test3 to FC3, and run "yum upgrade". This caused 209 rpms to be downloaded, including updates of yum and python. So yum worked before this, and didn't work afterwards. As a matter of interest, did you run "yum upgrade" after installing or upgrading to FC-3? If so, how many rpms, roughly, did you download? And did they include newer versions of yum and python? (I get a record in /var/log/yum.log.) If so, what were these versions? -- 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
