Yes I did read the reports I dont understand half of the jargen there
but managed to find a sample config file that should work I have
configured my file the same. I did discovered that the http_proxy port
was missing and fixed it, I have tried again and it still does the same.
That is why I reverted to giving up on it and trying everything the
manual way.
But I am back now so lets see.
Here is a copy of my Config file.
proxyPassword[comment]=The password to use for an authenticated proxy
proxyPassword=xxxxx
updateUp2date[comment]=Allow up2date to update itself when possible
updateUp2date=1
keepAfterInstall[comment]=Keep packages on disk after installation

proxyUser[comment]=The username for an authenticated proxy
proxyUser=chadley
removeSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including
wildcards that up2date will not remove
removeSkipList=kernel*;
useGPG[comment]=Use GPG to verify package integrity
useGPG=1
gpgKeyRing[comment]=The location of the gpg keyring to use for package
checking
gpgKeyRing=/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date-keyring.gpg
debug[comment]=Whether or not debugging is enabled
debug=0
httpProxy[comment]=HTTP proxy in host:port format, e.g.
squid.redhat.com:3128
httpProxy=http://000.000.000.000:80
headerCacheSize[comment]=The maximum number of rpm headers to cache in
ram
headerCacheSize=40

and config file skip list
