I am trying to use Yum but I get -
[root@fedorarouter ~]# yum update yum Setting up Update Process Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 8, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 68, in main result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 381, in doCommands return self.updatePkgs() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 766, in updatePkgs self.doRepoSetup() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 78, in doRepoSetup self.doSackSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 93, in doSackSetup self.repos.populateSack() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/repos.py", line 203, in populateSack dobj = repo.cacheHandler.getPrimary(xml, csum) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/mdcache.py", line 103, in getPrimary return self._getGeneric('metadata', location, checksum) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/mdcache.py", line 90, in _getGeneric databank = self._unpickle(piklfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/mdcache.py", line 62, in _unpickle obj = cPickle.load(infh) EOFError [root@fedorarouter ~]#
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this??
yes... forget about yum cause its a genuine pain in the backside and not worth your effort. Apt works much better and doesn't complain stupidly about things it "should" know how to do without the amount of messauging that yum takes to do the simplest things.
