I've just done the same with yum 2.3.2 in FC4 with 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel. No trouble.
There are some bugs in earlier versions of yum.
To diagnose this problem, you should tell us your version of fedora (put that in your profile), the version of yum (yum --version) and your kernel version (uname -r).
Googling your error message gets the impression that you are trying to use yum through a proxy? Is this correct?

I am having the same problem!!
FC4 kernel 2.6.11-1.1369 / YUM 2.3.2 / PYTHON 2.4.1 in a minimal server configuration behind a corporate firewall.
[root@overseer etc]# yum check-update
Repository updates-released already added, not adding again
Repository base already added, not adding again
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 27, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 75, in main
base.getOptionsConfig(args)
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 207, in getOptionsConfig
self.plugins.setCmdLine(opts, self.cmds)
AttributeError: DummyYumPlugins instance has no attribute 'setCmdLine'
I have reinstalled FC4 (possible conflict?), edited yum.conf with verified baseurls and mirrors, along with fedora repos.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

This is a very common problem - it is due to the proxy configuration not being set up properly for yum. You can set the proxy in yum.conf or globally ... see below. Otherwise, google for yum proxy and read the many many pages ...

$set "http://myproxy.mydomain:8080/"
$export proxy_http="http://myproxy.mydomain:8080/"

Then there is this:

I can't really get very specific without sitting in front of your machine... so I'm concentrating on helping you help yourselves if you see what I mean. Have fun

I am not using a proxy, could there be another reason.
There is an argument not being passed. I have googled the error to no assistance.
I have now got the CORRECT DNS addresses, so I can now get name resolution.
Still cannot run YUM or up2date ( which is not recommended )
Thanks in advance.

linux juggler: Great. That one took a bit of effort - please send affero (click "thanks" and follow your nose.)
sanchez348: You don't seem to have the same problem (except in the superficial sence that yum gives errors.) My apologies for not reading the whole text of your post.
Obvious things - try it without the firewall.
However:
This sort of thing sometimes happens when you change python version without also updating YUM - however, you have the same YUM/Python that I have... so it should work.
Is this the default server install? It sounds like you've been having trouble with server internet connections anyway...
The YUM list can be found from:
https://lists.linux.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
To debug this, you need to find the earliest error - the one that started it all off. It may be as simple as a missing package you wouldn't suspect.

hello
well, I also have a http proxy connection
when trying to use yum, i get the following error message:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries....ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (101, 'Network is unreachable')>
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: dries
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dries: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
if I use closer baseurls or mirrorlist, I don't get the [Errno 4], but the [Errno 256] is always present
what can I do?
thank you very much |

This sort of thing can happen when the servers are being updated ... try again.
ref: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archiv...p/t-48250.html
Interesting - cannot find anything from SuSE ... looking into it...
It seems SuSE likes apt better, but you can get yum repos if you put /yum on the end of the url for the apt repostitory (9.1-9.3). None of the url's in your post have this, could it be that you are pointing yum to apt repositories?
http://rubberturnip.org.uk/index.cgi/2005/08/06/
Whatever - I'd use apt for SuSE - it's more polished. |
