Try disabling all but one repo and see what happens. For example, yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates check-update Then try disabling all but another one. Once you've identified the repo, see if there are any other problem reports and/or try forcing yum to use a different mirror (try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo). Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | "Surely you don't begrudge me one measly bag per cup?" aprilcottage.co.uk | "Of tea, no.
