Hi,

I created a minimal SL6 image with yum groups base+core and
openssh-server using
http://linux1.fnal.gov/linux/scientific/6x/x86_64/os/. Image is created
fine but when I boot up and try to run yum update it fails with  errors
(see below). I also tried enabling and disabling mirrors doing yum clean
all every time before I run the update command.

I also noticed there is a /var/cache/yum/x86_64/$releasever dir.
Removing this $releasever dir does not help. It is recreated. For a
working system $releasever in the yum cache is actually expanded to the
respective versions but not in this case.

Is there a package pycurl depends on that is not pulled by default
making it unable to expand the $releasever correctly?

---------
yum clean all ; yum update --skip-broken 1 > yum.out 2>&1
