I have been unable to pick up the latest rpm updates over numerous retries for two days now, due to some kind of unknown new fault. I'm stumped. I've tried both up2date and yum. The up2date agent downloads the rpm files and then just exits, with no indication of the problem. The yum client segfaults, but /var/log/yum.log, /var/log/up2date and /var/log/messages do not show anything at all wrong. I've done an rpm --rebuilddb in the assumption that somehow my rpm db has become corrupted, but that does not seem to have done anything. I've also done a yum clean and refetched the rpms and headers twice, on the off chance that there was a bad site in my yum.conf list. If it helps any, this is an AMD Thunderbird processor, with plenty of ram, swap and disk available. Other than the nVidia driver, its stock. What's wrong? Here's the output from yum: Downloading Packages Getting kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.noarch.rpm kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-1 100% |=========================| 44 MB 01:33 Getting kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686.rpm kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686 100% |=========================| 16 MB 00:34 Getting kernel-doc-2.6.9-1.6_FC2.noarch.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.9-1.6_FC2. 100% |=========================| 2.0 MB 00:05 Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success!
