yum prob on lappy

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Over the weekend I tried to drag out my lappy and update it, getting ready 
to upgrade to FC6, its currently FC5, but about 2 weeks out of date.

To make a long story shorter, what with editing the repo addresses, putting 
fedoraproject.org in where downloads-redhat.com was due to the repo or 
mirroring failures, I now have a __.000db file that when I shut it down 
yesterday, was a zero length file and both yumex and smart package manager 
were spitting out terminal tummy aches over it.  An 'rpm --rebuilddb' also 
fails, as does an "rpm --initdb"

Humm, now this morning, its back to complaining about an "invalid baseurl 
for core".

As that _000.db file seems to be missing now, and its not bitching about it 
ATM, whats the next step here?, I've been out of the loop since last 
wednesday, out on the road.  So if its been posted, whats the subject 
line?

-- 
Cheers, Gene

try removing the # (commenting out) the baseurl
in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo

I've been trying to edit that and have it thoroughly fubared.

If I can't restore what was there, and amanda doesn't try to track that 
lappy, what is the correct contents for the "mirrorlist=" line in 
fedora-core.repo?

Where can I download a replacement for the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d?  
I've had google searching for it, but all it can seem to find is the livna 
setup instructions.  They seem to be fine.

I agree, Mike.  If this info was really in the wiki, I'm sure my google 
searching would have spit it out someplace in the 1st 5 pages of hits.  It 
did not. IIRC I used "yum FC5 repo" as the word search.

And that one didn't fall out of the google search, that I noticed. I'll 
bookmark that puppy!  Thanks, Mike.

indeed - that's where I got it from and obviously, that is why I had to
'uncomment' the $baseurl because the mirror*s*list line was bad in
several places.

Thanks

 	How many fedora*.org wiki's are there?  Maybe there should be some 
kind of list of official and unofficial fedora support sites somewhere.

The main strength of a wiki is that anybody (who has a login) can make
changes to it.

The main weakness of a wiki is that everyone assumes someone else is
going to make those changes.

I really don't mean to be negative here, but there is nothing stopping
you from creating a login account and making up that list on the
fedoraproject.org wiki. I think that it would be valuable to others in
the community.

I'd do it but I am too lazy ... I mean ... "busy" ;]
... besides ... Googling and reading the mailing lists meets my needs
most of the time.

Just delete the /var/lib/rpm/__* files if you have trouble, there is no need 
to do --rebuilddb and definitely not --initdb!

The invalid baseurl thing is a network level yum error that is unrelated to 
the rpm __ file stuff.  What exactly is it saying about that?

In a seperate window: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [errno 256] No more 
mirrors to try.

Several of my files in /etc/yum.repos.d have been edited, and paths are 
probably AFU, it might be best to just replace the default file so I know 
they're good again, but there doesn't seem to be a net accessable set of 
these files available that google can find.  The yum rpm is empty in that 
part of the tree.  Bummer...
