yum problems on Fedora core 7
It doesn't matter what package I try to install, I get this error.
Why does yum cough up this irrelevant adobe error when I'm trying to install a kernel update? $> yum install kernel-devel Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:37:42 GMT Server: Apache Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: adobe-linux |
The error is not irrelevant; it says that one of the repositories that you configured cannot be reached. As a result, yum cannot determine what the latest package is - it has no way of knowing whether the Adobe repository contains kernel-devel packages or not, because it can't reach it.
You can tell yum to ignore that repository temporarily by using the syntax: yum --disablerepo=adobe-linux install kernel-devel |

I can do yum updates on specific packages now, but when I do a general yum update it REALLY coughs up: Quote:

Try updating yum first:
yum update yum Also remove any non-distribution repositories that you've added as enabled by default. |

yum clean all
Then retry. If it still persists, wait a day for any repository problems to be resolved. |
