Hi David,

Thanks for the hint of updateting yum first.
I am using fedora core 4.

Compiling a new yum version worked, but yum couln'd start afterwards.
So I installed yum 2.6.0 and the new urlgrabber from the FC5 rpms.
didn't work. ok, my fault not latest version.

I  installed yum 2.6.1 from the fc5 updates  (as you have recommended)
and 

TARAA!! it works! great!

so my yum update will now install 3 packages, update 184 packages and
remove 7 packages.
Nice :-) All in total 414 Megs.


Enjoy WM06 today (1.5 hours left)
Silvio

Yes. Try to get yum/urlgrabber updated first (which distribution/version

are you on ?), perhaps from:
http or ftp to 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/

rpm -Uvh yum-2.6.1-0.fc5.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2
