Did they break yum? - hybrid - 2006-10-24

Did the Red Hat guys break yum in FC5 because of the release of FC6 or is it just me?

I'm getting the following output from a yum update:

Code:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
updates															  [1/4]
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates

I will be moving over to FC6 soon, but I might not be finished with FC5 yet!?

Anyone else have this problem?

(on an unrelated note - posting this from Firefox 2.0 - absolutely awesome!!)

Hi,

The DNS of fedora.redhat.com has been changed as they are switching it over.

try this:-

make sure the correct repo(s) are enabled

then as root

Code:
yum clean all
yum clean metadata

does that help ?

Erm, well I've gone to FC6 anyway now :P

If I had a working copy of FC5 installed somewhere, I'd test it out, but alas, I'd have to install it again...
