what sould i do?! |
I'm not sure how accurate my assumption is, but usually a segmentation fault is caused by the software being used that is not working properly. It would seem yum is the problem. Maybe try removing yum and reinstalling it, preferably including any dependencies. I don't think it has any but you can query it's dependencies with rpm and remove/reinstall with rpm also.

ok... so how can i uninstall and reinstall yum if it's the only one i know?
can you give me the exact commands, pls? |
Take a look in /var/log/rpmpkgs to see which version of yum is installed, also go to updates site via the link at the top of firefox to see if there is a newer version. Download the latest one at the Fedora update site for your architecture even if it is the same one that is installed, or if you have kept all updates in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages, then you will have it already. Remove the one installed with rpm erase command using the full name of the package which would probably be listed in /var/log/rpmpkgs with similar command:
Code:
rpm -e packagename.rpm Code:
rpm -ivh packagename.rpm Code:
rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm |
this souldn't supose to happen, no?
