For some reason, one of my FC6 boxes is no longer able to "Add/Remove software" with Pirut, Pup, or Yum. With Pirut and Pup, after a few seconds I get the "Cannot retrieve software information" error, and if I try
a "Yum -y update" I get the following error.

[root@localhost core]# yum -y update

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: adobe-linux

I know the machine is connected to the network, and can browse the internet fine. Another FC6 box on the same network can add/remove update software fine. What might be causing the difference?

Thanks in advance.

I used yum update without the -y and 13 hours later my FC6 was up to date with 450 updates and 630 MB.

Not sure what the -y does.
