updates with yum

Uh, actually, no, the gpg signatures should work fine. The rpms are mirrored from the official repositories, and then the deltarpms are generated. The deltarpms will rebuild back into the *exact* rpm (including all signatures). If the gpg signatures fail, then something is wrong.

hai people,

I changed the file like this.....

Quote:

[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
baseurl=http://lesloueizeh.com/f8/i386/updates
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

in the beginning it seemed to work fine showing the size as very small. and in end the following message came

Quote:

Error Downloading Packages:
tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api - 5.5.26-1jpp.2.fc8.i386: failure: updates/tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.26-1jpp.2.fc8.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

what to do now?
Actually I am very much new to LINUX.
Please help me.

thanks.....

It may be that yum still has the old repository information cached. Try running

Code:

yum clean metadata

and then try again. If there is still an error, please post the *whole* yum output.

i cleaned metadata.

actually I installed all the packages of open office downloading directly the openoffice.org site.

after that i removed all of them using yum remove

will this create any problem?

actually, at the shell prompt, if i give openoffice.org2.4 it is opening the application but not loading any files or not even able to create the new blank file.

if I give the command yum install openoffice.org-writer the following is coming
