Hi,
I don't know whats going on but yumex gives this error in FC5
"Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: base
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors
to try."
But this repo "[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo vim
/etc/yum.repos.d/local-base"
contains
# planetmirror base

Is this file referred to from somewhere else, such as fedora-core.repo?
Where is the repo definition for the "base" repo (which is called "core"
by default in FC5)?
Paul.

The file above is referred to as 'local-base'
"[david@reddwarf ~]$ less /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo"
"[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
mirrorlist=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/local-base
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1"

I had a similar problem, fixed it with a removal of just about
everything in /var/cache/yum/reponame. It took about 20 minutes to dl
it all from scratch, but it fixed it.
