I've been off on vacation for a few weeks and had the mailing list turned off during that time. I ran yum update upon return and everything worked OK. Ran it again last night and again this morning and had errors from Dag's site. As can be seen in the log below, the file has zero size. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a site problem or just my machine? # yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories //var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty ^ //var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found ^ dag 100% |=========================| 0 B 00:00 http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for dag: Error: could not parse file //var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml Trying other mirror.
