Topic: yum problems

[yuku]

I'm running a 7.0 final box which is working fine, but for one small detail.

When running yum I'm getting the following:

[root@mickey /]# yum check-update
==============================================================
WARNING: Additional commands may be required after running yum
==============================================================

================================================================

================================================================

also in server-manger the install updates option says there is one update available called: not using ftp
however installing it gives the following error:

I've already tried yum clean cache and yum clean metadata
reboot / reconfigure also don't have any effect.

my yum.conf looks as follows:

anyone got any idea?

[guess]
server-manager / Software Installer / Change software installer settings / select all 3 "SME Server ..." repositories, unselect all of the "Centos" repositories, click "Save" and try again.
[/guess]

[yuku]

unfortunately that is not the solution.

still getting same errors (even after reconfigure/reboot)

any way to get rid of the current yum.conf and recreate it using templates?

[mmccarn]

The server-manager software-update settings simply change "enabled" from "=0" to "=1" in yum.conf.

(the "[updates]" section in your yum.conf formerly said "enabled=1"; does it still say this?)

You could try running yum manually with
# yum update --enablerepo=SME*


Here's my "yum.conf", for comparison.  Note that this is not the default version as I have added the dungog repository.

if you want to go back to the defaults, delete the /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories file before doing the reconfiguration reboot.

[jumba]

Try to remove all files (if any) in /etc/yum.repos.d followed by a reboot.

At least it helped for me
