Hi All

I have a problem with YUM & FC3.
I have just upgraded from FC2 to FC3, I have updated the /etc/yum.conf
file to read as follows:-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

 [fedora-us-3-core]
 name=Fedora Core 3 -- Fedora US mirror

baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.os


 [fedora-us-3-updates]

# ----------------------end of file---------------------------------

the problem is when I run YUM from the command line I get:-

[root@athlon etc]# yum check-update
Options Error: Not a boolean: 1

           groupupdate | grouplist | groupinfo | groupremove |

       -e [error level] - set the error logging level
       -d [debug level] - set the debugging level
       -y - answer yes to all questions
       -R [time in minutes] - set the max amount of time to randomly
run in
       -C run from cache only - do not update the cache
       --installroot=[path] - set the install root (default '/')
       --version - output the version of yum
       --rss-filename=[path/filename] - set the filename to generate
rss to
       --exclude=package to exclude
       --disablerepo=repository id to disable (overrides config file)
       --enablerepo=repository id to enable (overrides config file)

       -h, --help  - this screen

[root@athlon etc]#


I am running :-
kernel-2.6.9-1.667
yum=2.1.11-3

Anyone got any ideas???

Laurence

It means what it states 'Options Error' some where in yum.conf/yum.repos is
an option ie: 'enable , gpgcheck' without a boolean '0' '1'
