I never had yum working in FC4 on my desktop machine. I just upgraded to FC5 and yum is still not working. I think it's because the repositores aren't updated to FC5, because the /etc/yum.conf file says it is for FC3. My guess is if I update the config file with the correct repositories, it will work. Any suggestions on how to do this? I have the rpm packate yum-2.6.0-1.noarch.rpm on my computer, copied from my install CD's. I have tried yum -i --force --replacefiles yum-2.6.0-1.noarch.rpm (also tried the -U) and I still have the same /etc/yum.conf file. Am I not using the correct rpm command? Below is the output of 'yum update yum' ]# yum update yum Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories livna-stable [1/9] http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/5/i386/RPMS.stable/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 20:45:08 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora) Content-Length: 324 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror. http://livna.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/5/i386/RPMS.stable/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 345 Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 20:45:09 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.11 Trying other mirror.
