No repolist
my Yum is 2.0.7

Asx per post #2, what distro/version are you running?

CentOS 5.2 / 2.0.7 YUM

Centos 5 uses yum 3.XXXX. RHEL5 also use 3.xxx. As well as all the other RHEL5 clones. You cannot mix a repo from one distro+version with another distro+version.

So what distro+version are you running?

Edit: IF you are really running Centos5.2 how and why did you downgrade yum?

LOL didn't know I did, probably at one point for something I really don't know :P

Are you sure on the release? From one of my earlier posts, the mirror you were looking for was at best a RH9 repo. Can you post

cat /etc/redhat-release

Something seems to be off in the yum parameters to the repo file

CentOS release 5.2 (Final)

So.. any ideas on how to fix?

I'd be trying to re-install yum from the DVD

omg lol how? Its not sitting next to me.. the box is like 500 miles away.. rofl ...

Could you tell me why? How to resolve this problem?

Thank you very much

PLEASE do not drag up a old thread from 2008

also it is of no surprise that fedora 3 ( YES fedora 3) is not working
it hit it's " End Of Life" in Nov. 2006
there have been NO UPDATES to it since 2006

yum will NEVER work on fedora 3
install the current version
fedora 15 you are 12 versions OUT OF DATE

you DO NOT !
There is NO solution .

you install supported version
fedora 15 is current
