Not sure whats hapenning here. I've installed yum-2.0.7-3 and
fedora-release-2-rawhide with FC2 (python-2.3.3-6) - and yum doesn't
misbehave with the yum.conf I've posted earlier.
You could just change the baseurl to rawhide and try 'yum upgrade'
again.
Strangely that works. At least it is downloading *.hdr files.
First I retried with the posted yum.conf and I got the same error.
The edited to be:
[base]
name=my Rawhide base
baseurl=ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386
(note I used ftp instead of http)
The only other differnce I see at a glance is your newer version of
python. I'm at python-2.3.3-2
For this you don't have to change fedora-release package. The
only
reason it matters to yum is to do the $releasever substitution in
yum.conf.
I didn't even need to jerk it around then...
As of now yum is downloading headers from rawhide. That will be a long
haul .. something like 2000 I think. I'm too tired to wait so will
have to continure tomorrow... thanks for your patient help, and not
saying too much about the mess I've made....
