Can't update with yum or up2date.
I've been using Fedora Core 3 for 2 or 3 days now. This is my first linux install. I'm having problems getting yum to work with updating and getting new packages. It doesn't matter what repos I use in yum.conf. I always get the same thing when running yum.
Code:
# yum update |
Hi!
Why don't you update to the newly relased Fedora Core 4? |

If that doesn't work, then you may be behind a proxy. Are you connecting to the internet directly (i.e 56K/Broadband connection) or are you connecting from within a network? If you are within a network, then you may indeed have a proxy problem and I'm sure you can set yum to use it somehow....... Oh...and updating to Fedora Core 4 may not be such a good idea as it's still unstable...but you can check it out if you want to! J_K9 |
Are you sure you installed FC3, and not FC4T3 (a.k.a. FC3.92)?
The “/3.92/” in the failed line refers to FC4T3. |
Yeah, it seems you are running FC4 Test3 or your yum.conf is configured for FC4 Test3. The best solution to solve your problem is to download an rpm called fedora-release from a Fedora Core 4 mirror, install that and then run "yum update" as root.

Wouldn’t it be better to run “yum upgrade” instead of “yum update” after installing FC4 fedora-release, since “upgrade” deals with the obsoletes (if there are any going from FC4T3 to FC4)?

it is proxy
1. This is proxy. I had the same in FC4.
2. Use the form "<http://<host>:<port>" to declare proxy in yum.conf or in var.-s "http_proxy". It will never help, but will save your from the other error. 3. I decided not to waste more time on this, but it looks like some "proxy-<PYTHON release>-<YUM release>" problem. 4. Something like this is going on with UBUNTU (with apt... tools). |
