Apologies for this, I read the digests this morning (with enlightenment!) and see there has been a lot of discussion on this recently.
The yum.conf I ran with this morning was: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest exclude=kernel-g5* [base] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yum/4.0/base/ baseurl=http://yellowdog.open-mirror.com/yum/4.0/base/ [updates] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yum/4.0/updates/ baseurl=http://yellowdog.open-mirror.com/yum/4.0/updates/ [update] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Update baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yum/4.0/update/ baseurl=http://yellowdog.open-mirror.com/yum/4.0/update/ [extras] name=Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yum/4.0/extras/ baseurl=http://yellowdog.open-mirror.com/yum/4.0/extras/ [FreshRPMS] name=FreshRPMS Contributional Repository baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/ The message I got back was the following: Upgrading all packages with command yum -y update .. Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: FreshRPMS Contributional Repository Server: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base Server: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Extras Server: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Update Server: Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers No Packages Available for Update No actions to take .. upgrade complete. Can someone confirm that this is a successful yum update transaction? If so, could someone also explain why the yum.log file indicates that there have only been yum installations/updates carried out on 29/04/2005 (around the time of the original installation of this YDL box), a manual yum erase of vsftpd 1.2.1-7.ydl.1.ppc and a manual yum install of proftpd 1.2.10-8.0.yd4.fr.ppc on 21/07/2005? >From the digest I noted that there were updates available last month. BTW, how do I get the YDL 4.0.1 updates - they don't appear to be available on the mirrors?
