yum/up2date issue
 
I was using FC 3. up2date decided to stop working. no errors even from terminal. The up2date icon would consistently tell me the system was up to date. Because I heard of the connection issues with Vista and Samba I downloaded and installed FC 6 (last night). now...
When attempting to run yum, i get:
[root@xxx ~]# yum -y update
Repository core is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository updates is listed more than once in the configuration

How are your repositories defined? It seems that there are some duplicate entries involved.

Is "dries" a repo you defined yourself? Could you post the contents of repomd.xml please?

EDIT: Also check if repomd.xml is readable.

Thank you both for your replies. It seems that issue was resolved (at least apparently) when I removed some entries I'd added. I now have a related issue though. Yum seems to update everything except for 2 particular files that won't update because there is a common needed dependency. The problem is, According to the package manager, it's there. This is what yum gives me now (colored text is mine):

Processing Dependency: cyrus-imapd = 2.2.12-1.1.fc3 for package: cyrus-imapd-nntp
--> Processing Dependency: cyrus-imapd = 2.2.12-1.1.fc3 for package: cyrus-imapd-murder
--> Processing Dependency: libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1 for package: gtkhtml
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: cyrus-imapd = 2.2.12-1.1.fc3 is needed by package cyrus-imapd-murder
Error: Missing Dependency: cyrus-imapd = 2.2.12-1.1.fc3 is needed by package cyrus-imapd-nntp

So I cannot update either the cyrus-imapd-nntp nor cyrus-imapd-murder because the same thing is missing. Any thoughts?
