fedora 7 yum squid error

I had fedora 6 installed in a 64 bit machine. I upgraded that to fedora 7 recently. since then yum is not working. I connect to internet via proxy. I can accesss other services. but yum gives the error. for eg:

Code:

[root@onsager ~]# yum -y update

Can anyone help me? I have no idea whats goin on?

Thanks & Regards,

well squid is telling you where to go... suggests the infrastrcuture you are going through is configured this way. are you able to talk to the admins of jncproxy.jncasr.ac.in?

Thanks for the suggestion. But what you man by this?

Did you mean that whether I can connect to network or something?
Regards,

that squid error is down to a single mirror. is that your proxy where you work or something? if so then i meant you talk to whoever in IT is responsile for the policy on that machine.

at a wider level though, you are generally just getting timeouts. that suggests you either have no local network connection - please verify this. alternatively you are firewalled by your network infrastructure from getting where you want to go.. can you ping those domains? access the web addresses within a browser?

Yes thats correct. its the proxy i'm using. I wud talk to IT guys.

i hav a lan connection. i can connect to other computers on the system. i can ping. i can access the web with a browser.

How do I find out whether I am firewalled?

Thanks a lot,
Sumesh

you ask the people in charge of the network.

Apparently they dont seem to be able to help. and I tried myself and messed up everything.
I happened to install an old version of yum 2.0.7. It doesnt work. I want to uninstall it and install the latest. Now I face these problems.

Code:

[root@onsager aditya]# rpm -e yum

error: Failed dependencies:

        yum = 3.2.0-1.fc7 is needed by (installed) yum-updatesd-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch

        yum >= 2.9.5 is needed by (installed) pirut-1.3.7-1.fc7.noarch

[root@onsager aditya]# sudo rpm -e yum

error: Failed dependencies:

        yum = 3.2.0-1.fc7 is needed by (installed) yum-updatesd-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch

        yum >= 2.9.5 is needed by (installed) pirut-1.3.7-1.fc7.noarch

[root@onsager aditya]#

I then used rpm -e yum --nodeps. It looks like it removed a lot. Then i downloaded 3.2.8 and tried installing it. but now this is the problem.

Code:

[root@onsager yum]# ls

yum-3.2.7-1.src.rpm

[root@onsager yum]# rpm -ivh yum-3.2.7-1.src.rpm 

warning: yum-3.2.7-1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 69886cc7

error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

[root@onsager yum]#

what do i do?

Plz share your knowledge
