Problem with YUM Fedora 9

mudogg80 · 09-17-2008, 01:04 PM

I have been using Fedora 8 for a while and just recently starting receiving an error message when trying to update software with yum. So I upgraded to fedora 9 with the hopes that this error would get fixed, but no such luck.
This is the error i'm receiving:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 487, in http_response
code, msg, hdrs = response.code, response.msg, response.info()
AttributeError: HTTPResponse instance has no attribute 'code'

I have ran yum clean, yum clean-all.

Do I need to uninstall yum and reinstall?

Can anyone help with this? Thanks!!!
