Yum crashing mid update
 

Hi all,

Having a couple of issues lately trying to update packages via yum, get the following message after several packages have been downloaded on entering the command yum update.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 170, in main
base.doTransaction()
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 653, in doTransaction
problems = self.downloadPkgs(downloadpkgs)

return gr.mirrors[gr._next]

I suggest a:

yum --enablerepo=* clean all

Followed by a:

yum -y update yum

If that's successful (no errors), then you are good to go. Otherwise, you might want to change mirrors.
