Yum update failure -

[Bob Goodwin]

I tried to yum update this computer and got the following error:

  One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 21 - x86_64),
  and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the 
only
  safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
.............
Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora
     * free   0
     * needed 100 k
.............

It suggests such things as:

  3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
         just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it 
again or use
         --enablerepo for temporary usage:

             yum-config-manager --disable fedora
.............

[root at bobgASRockServer bobg]# du -h /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora
4.0K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora/gen
4.0K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora/packages
12K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora

[root at bobgASRockServer bobg]# du -h /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/
4.0K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora/gen
4.0K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora/packages
12K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora
4.0K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/updates/gen
40K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/updates/packages
48K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/updates
68K    /var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/


It doesn't look like there are any large files? I don't understand 
what's going on here. two other F-21 computers updated normally.
