For something as simple as: # yum clean all # yum update (no new updates) It had a hell of a time downloading the repo database files and then it went into a spin loop. Once I removed FM, it went through, but slower. With FM, it was much faster but at the expense of disconnects, or so it seems. I noticed that when yum disconnects, it smacked my dovecot imap connections as indicated in my maillog file (I was also watching messages log file, but nothing noted there), maybe its a coincidence, but what do I know! Really odd. I will forego FM for now. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
