I'm using Fedora core 1 and I noticed that a lot of packages were outdated and figured I needed an update. But Up2date just keeps hanging after the packages start downloading (that is after RPM headers have been received and I choose from the list of packages to update).
Is there any other tool that will automatically detect outdated packages (RPMs) in Fedora and allow me to update without having to manually add the list of packages to update? I'm willing to use the command line.
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Error - /var/cache/yum/base/header.info cannot be found
Please ask your sysadmin to update the headers on this system.
