I downloaded the yum.conf file from freshrpms, renamed my old yum.conf
file to yum.conf.old and ran yum install yum. Here is the output I got
Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: Yellow Dog Linux $releasever - $basearch - freshrpms
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 44, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 141, in main
File "clientStuff.py", line 655, in get_package_info_from_servers
File "clientStuff.py", line 104, in HeaderInfoNevralLoad
ValueError: unpack List of wrong size
Then blammo, back to shell prompt.
btw, I su'd and ran this as root. Any help? Any ideas? I really would
like to get this machine updated.
