I have some problems to update yum.Ihave installed fedora core 5 and applying the command of yum on terminal (YUM -Y Update).
fedora didn't update the yum.
Sir kindly tell me how to update yum.
You have to check the yum repositories under /etc/yum.repos.d and in particular check if the path on the server is still valid, since FC5 has been discontinued some time ago. Then consider if upgrading to a newer release can be an option.
sir i apply this command on terminal
YUM -Y UPDATE
And the result is this one

yum update

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Ok. You have to check the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and see if the baseurl specified under the [core] section is still valid. Fedora Core 5 is quite old, so there is a chance that the original repository has been displaced onto another path in the fedora server.
Anyway, I strongly suggest to upgrade (or to do a fresh install) to a more recent release. Fedora 10 is the last stable release of fedora, now!
So you have to navigate through the suggested URL and find the one suitable for your system, assuming $releasever = 5 and $basearch = i386 or x86_64 (based on the actual architecture of the system). For example you can try to modify the [core] section of fedora.repo like this (assuming the architecture is i386:

This is another story: maybe another yum session was still running, so you have to wait for the previous session of yum to finish. There is a chance that the automatic update is setup, so that when you login it activates (and keep yum busy) to retrieve the list of available updates and show you a pop-up message on the desktop. If this is the case, you have to let this process to complete before running yum from the terminal. Hope this helps.
thanks for the yum updates of fc7
