Odd thing is my yum.conf is clean, as is my sources file. But both yum &
up2date report "base already added". Are they on crack?
I even strace'd the whole thing and checked it's opening the correct
files :
open("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("///etc/yum.repos.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 11
open("/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo", O_RDONLY) = 11
open("/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo", O_RDONLY) = 11
Ohh god I am officially stupid AND blind...
Just saw the problem, inside the .repos files the headings were all
[base].
So shoot me please...
But, in my defence the problem still stands with up2date :
Setting up Package Sacks
Excluding Incompatible Archs
Finished
An error has occurred:
exceptions.TypeError

"yum install gcc" however worked flawlessly.
Cheers.
