Yesterday evening I started getting an error running up2date. It has been running okay, if a lot slow since I had not used a mirror. A few days ago I reconfigured /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to use a mirror and up2date was working pretty well considering it's over a dialup connection. That afternoon I did the same thing at $WORK with good results. I later tried to do an update at home and I consistently get the error below with the default host used below or with either of two mirrors I tried.
FWIW, the up2date GUI just quits without an error message.
Have I broken something (probably) or is there a problem on the servers? If I've broken it does anybody have an idea where I start looking for a fix? I can reinstall from scratch since this is a work in progress but I'd like to know what's causing the problem...
Today I again tried at $WORK and at home. No change.

You do not any mirror in this example but the redhat server. Fix you source list and the error will go away, I am sure.

Someone suggested I try a mirror. Sorry, I lost that message but will reply to my original note instead. I had tried two mirrors with no change but decided to try again. Same result, given below:
[root@localhost rhn]# up2date --nox -u -v
