Title: Yum software install problem
Post by: TCAdmin on August 18, 2006, 02:17:57 AM

I am trying to install the new updates via YUM, but am getting this error:

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-34.0.2.EL.i686.rpm: [Errno -1] Header is not complete.

This is the error I get when going through Server-Manager and Software Install in the manager.  If I try a direct "yum update" I get the same "header is not complete" and "no more mirrors to try".  I have also ran the "yum clean cache" and then tried the update again.  Still nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If I try a direct "yum update" I get the same "header is not complete" and "no more mirrors to try".

I had the same problem. But running yum update from the console repeatedly, I progressed through one file at a time.  Eventually. the yum got right through the transaction list and completed successfully.

If the files are from the ibiblio site then looks like there site has gone down big time ... been having problems trying to access there site for days now.

There are other mirror sites that still work out there .... not sure how to change to those sites though.

I just downloaded files from other mirror sites manually.
