Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] YUM Operational Problem


I am having a problem getting yum to operate.  I believe it is centered 
on the "greysector" portion of the core repo, but I do not understand 
enough.  The output that I get is:

# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

core                                                                 [1/6]

Would appreciate any guidance.

Dennis,

I had this problem with several repositories in Fedora 3.  Solution follows:
1.  Put a # in the first column of any line with a troublesome or missing repository, making the line a comment.
2,  Try again. Things should work, or maybe another trouble message will cause bad feeling.  Shoot any new troubles.
3.  The missing repository may reappear in the future.  Delete the # and try.  If it is still bad, replace the #.
