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...
