Greetings; Over the weekend I tried to drag out my lappy and update it, getting ready to upgrade to FC6, its currently FC5, but about 2 weeks out of date. To make a long story shorter, what with editing the repo addresses, putting fedoraproject.org in where downloads-redhat.com was due to the repo or mirroring failures, I now have a __.000db file that when I shut it down yesterday, was a zero length file and both yumex and smart package manager were spitting out terminal tummy aches over it. An 'rpm --rebuilddb' also fails, as does an "rpm --initdb" Humm, now this morning, its back to complaining about an "invalid baseurl for core". As that _000.db file seems to be missing now, and its not bitching about it ATM, whats the next step here?, I've been out of the loop since last wednesday, out on the road. So if its been posted, whats the subject line? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
