yum update problem

[Andrzej Maciejewski]

Hi All, 
after upgrading the kernel I had and have problems with X. I read all
messages in the list concerning this topic - but nothing helps.
Now, I try to make an update of my system and  yum update does not work.
More precisely it starts to work but gives such an error message:
cups-1.1.23-15.4.i386.rpm 100% |=========================| 1.5 MB    00:11
http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora-core/updates/4/i386/cups-1.1.23-15....:
[Errno -1] Header is not complete.
Then it tries all mirrors and result is the same.
I will be thakful for any help.

try doing a "yum clean all" and try again.

Hi Tim,

You could try firstly this:

prompt> yum update yum

and if you continue with problems, then I suggest this:
Add support for other repositories
 Fedora comes with a ton of software but there are still plenty of packages
of interest to most users that are not included for a variety of reasons.
This is where you find the MP3 plug-in and a ton of other packages. Yum is
now the preferred update format, however the handy RHN icon on the GNOME
task bar that I like (but nobody else does) still seems to be tied to the
old RHN method using up2date.
Before you add repositories it's probably a good idea to make sure your
system is fully updated first. It's still early but right now the Livna and
freshrpms repositories seems to be the most useful. The easiest way to get
started is to install the freshrpms-release packages:
# rpm -ihv
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noarch...
# rpm -ihv
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/freshrpms-releas...

You can browse the packages available there at
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/ and
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/RPMS.freshrpms/.

bye !

Hi, I solved the problem with yum. It seems that the reason was following:
I had two versions of udev (i.e. the old one was not removed durinig the
installation of new one; why? I do not know).
Now I have fully updated system but I have problem with gdm. It does not
starts after booting. X reports that modules bitmap and pcidata cannot be
found. 
I have no idea what to do.
