after i cleaned up my yum.conf file, everything i try now gives me
numerous "failover" errors, like:
# yum list updates
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Getting header.info from server
failover: baseURL = http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1/i386/os/
^^^ no, it's actually spelled "baseurl" in the file :-)
failover: path = headers/header.info
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates
Getting header.info from server
failover: baseURL =
http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/os/
failover: path = headers/header.info
retrygrab() failed for:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/os/headers/header.info
Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file
http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/updates/1/i386/os/headers/header.info
[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
i tried to completely clean my local cache, both with "yum clean" and
just plain "rm -rf", and start from scratch, and now i get:
# yum clean
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Using cached header.info file
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates
Error - /var/cache/yum/updates-released/header.info cannot be found
Please run yum in non-caching mode to correct this header.
i've checked the man page and googled on that, and the few hits don't
explain how to get non-caching mode. comments?
