Fedora Core 6 Yum Update Error

jwheel83 · 01-24-2007, 12:17 PM

I have recently installed Fedora Core 6 x86_64 on my computer. I have tried to update and it gives me an error everytime. I was wondering if anyone knows what this means and how I can fix it or if I just need to reinstall the operating system? Below is what i see in the terminal after I type yum update and it goes through a large amount of finding stuff, then prints the following:

Well you should know that yum is a bit of a problem on multlib(64-bit and 32-bit libs) systems. Instead of attempting to download and install so many updates at one time it would be better to make smaller updates happen.

Code:

Install 9 Package(s)
Update 405 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)

First things first update yum (to fix a few bugs); yum update yum
Next update in portions for example; yum update kernel libselinux udev hal

With your issue try something like;

yum remove frysk-0.0.1.2006.10.02.rh1-1.fc6.i386
yum update frysk

So you can see why;
