Do people even know what it does? Does anyone think before issuing advice anymore? It's rarely ever necessary. It wipes out your entire cache of downloaded packages, forcing you to get them again if you're part way through downloading/updating, wasting your bandwidth, time, and the server. To clean the data about what's available to yum, simply use "yum clean metadata". People, stop issuing stupid advice. Yes, it IS "stupid" advice, it's offering things without due thought. That is what being stupid means. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
