Yum troubles

I did as suggested: deleted the first line of yun.conf with vi and 
inserted [main] instead, but nothing changed.

after <yum check-update> the following message appears:

[peter at localhost peter]$ yum check-update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
Error - /var/cache/yum/dag/header.info cannot be found
Please ask your sysadmin to update the headers on this system.

In vi my yum.conf looks like this:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release

Looks like one problem is solved (sorry if I am a little bit slow in 
getting the message), but a problem with missing headers seems to be 
still there.
Please has anyone a suggestion? How does one update headers on a system?
Peter.
