Up2date Problems

I would make an intentional typo error in the yum url
(e.g: yum fedora-core-1 http://ftp.surfnet.nlaaaa).

Then run again up2date -u to see if you receive another
error messages.

  Well I have just tried using the below sources and got the same problem. I
have included the content of my sources file for ref.



  ### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into

  ### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos,

  ### and "dir" repos





  ### format is one repo entry per line, # starts comments, the

  ### first word on each line is the type of repo.



  ### the defalt rhn (using "default" as the url means

  ### use the one in the up2date config file

  #up2date default



  ### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's,

  ### the label is soley used as an internal identifier and is not

  ### based on the url or any other info from the repo.



  ### an apt style repo, this time arjanv's 2.6 kernel repo

  ### format is:

  ### type  channel-label      service:server         path        repo name



  #apt arjan-2.6-kernel-i386 http://people.redhat.com ~arjanv/2.5/ kernel



  ### Note that for apt repos, there can be multiple repo names specificed

  ### space seperated.



  ### an yum style repo

  ### format:

  ### type  channel-label     url



  #yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1

  #yum updates-released
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1

  #yum updates-testing
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1



  yum fedora-core-1
http://ftp.surfnet.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/1/i386/os

  yum updates-released
http://ftp.surfnet.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/updates/1/i386





  ### an local directory full of packages

  ### format

  #dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/





  # multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Depenencies

  # can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.

  I used http://ftp.surfnet.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/1/ yesterday
evening to update everything

  and I had 270KBs on my ADSL connections.

    Hi folks,



    Just a very quick question, I am trying to update FC1 at the moment and
I keep receiving an error stating that the RedHat Network is currently
experiencing problems. I have changed sources as specified through
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/alexander_dalloz/mirror/ and I am still
receiving the same problem even though I have tried a number of different
sources. I have made sure that I am able to access the net and I can browser
the net from the same computer. Any ideas as I am slowly running out and I
need to have an update computer ASAP.



    Thanks



    Kev
