Ok - this package is fine - and shouldn't cause any grief. The next
thing to check is if yum & python are fine (perhaps upgrade yum to the
latest release version).
rpm -q yum python
rpm -V yum python
Those check out:
rpm -q yum python
yum-2.0.7-3
python-2.3.3-2
rpm -V yum python
/etc/security/selinux/src/policy/file_contexts/file_contexts: No such file or directory
S.5....T c /etc/yum.conf
I'm running latest yum as posted earlier.
Also - I'm guessing you are using the yum.conf I've posted
earlier
(which doesn't use $releasever or $basearch variables) but yum
stumbles.
Correct
If yum still doesn't work - I'll sugest using apt to fix
things up.
I've found by backing up to core 2 fedora-release*rpm and editing yum.conf like this:
cat yum.conf
[base]
name=my starter base core 2
baseurl=ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os
Now suddenly `yum upgrade' is pulling down the *.hdr files, with no
error yet.
I'm wondering if there may be some error in rawhide channel itself.
I had the rawhide fedora-release installed and aimed yum at fedora
with your yum.conf,when I started getting that error.
