Yum replies with error
 

Hello,

In my yellow dog linux, I have to update with YUM.

If I ask the updates, I get a nice list.

However if I ask to update I get a list of headers, and then an error and Yum is stopped.

If i try to update just one package, same.

I get this error ....

after a long list..........l
getting /var/cache/yum/base/headers/nhpf-0-1.42-3.ppc.hdr
getting /var/cache/yum/base/headers/screen-0-3.9.11-10.ppc.hdr
getting /var/cache/yum/updates/headers/mod_ssl-1-2.0.40-21.3b.ppc.hdr
>>>>>>>
IOError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
URL: http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/ye...tes/headers/mo
d_ssl-1-2.0.40-21.3b.ppc.hdr

and I find myself back at the console.

My guess is that one of the addresses YUM is using for getting updates is not working. Is that right? Do I have to find out the problem address and replace it ? An if yes where?

Does anyone have a better idea?

Thanks in advance.

Seems the server is too busy. Choose another mirror at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and then edit /etc/yum.conf to point to the selected mirror. Keep the $releasever and $basearch variables though (open the /etc/yum.conf and you'll understand what I am saying).
