Hi,
Have been trying yesterday and today to pull down the new config file for
yum, to update to 5.5. I
always get the same message, although I did this just fine a few days ago
on another computer.
Am I the only one having this problem? or is there something up with the
ftp site?
Thanks for any help.
Here is the failed command (I am trying to update some Intel _x64 boxes).
[]# rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/
RPMS/yum-conf-
latest.SL.noarch.rpm
Retrieving ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RP

I was able to get the file, but then I'm fairly close to the server.
Can you get it outside of rpm trying to get it. Try
wget
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
or try the http equivalent
wget
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/misc/RPMS/yum-conf-latest.SL.noarch.rpm
