I keep on having problems with yum. The next message shows when I try $ yum check-update or yum update
]$ yum check-update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 163, in main (log, errorlog, filelog, conf, cmds) = parseCmdArgs(args) File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 75, in parseCmdArgs conf=yumconf(configfile=yumconffile) File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 48, in __init__ self.cfg.read(configfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 263, in read self._read(fp, filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 456, in _read raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fpname, lineno, `line`) ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers. file: /etc/yum.conf, line: 1 '\xef\xbb\xbf[main]\n'
Considering there could be multiple installation faults I dowmlaoded and installed yum again, but that does not solve the problem.
Getting desperate,
Peter.
