problem using up2date
 

hi all..
when i try to use up2date prog it gives the following err!!

An error has occurred:
yum.Errors.RepoError

plz try to help me in fixing the problem. i m using fedora core 4.
thanx

If it is the up2date through the GUI then it might be having problems connecting. I know I have problems all the time when I was using Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 4.

If yum is working for you, try a sudo yum install yumex, and then run yumex and select the update tab. That will show you what's available and let you select the updates you want to install. It's much easier to use than up2date, although it doesn't normally run "automatically." It does, however, show you all the available updates, not just the "critical" ones.

By the way, the sudo prefix in the command above will only work if you've added yourself to the sudoers file. See info sudoers for details.

up2date doesn't work in Fedora Core. Use yum

For dag in FC4, try this in /etc/yum.repos.d: For the "standard" Fedora sites you should have something like this in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory:
