The situation is only semi-broken. The URLs in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources depend on "redirects". The "real" URLs can be seen on this page: <A HREF="http://fedora.redhat.com/download/updates.html">http://fedora.redhat.com/download/updates.html</A> While this is correct, the URLs as defined by the current up2date and yum packages are not correct. I am hoping that Red Hat: 1. Reinstalls the redirects on fedora.redhat.com (really <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com">www.redhat.com</A>) -- so that fresh installs will work properly. 2. Issues updated packages for up2date and yum which use the actual URLs and do not depend on the redirects. You can manually update /etc/yum.conf and /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources for the correct URLs. There are lots of comments on this situation on the list but it is also a high volume list information can be easily missed.</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE><TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Benjamin Arai <<A HREF="mailto:benjamin@araisoft.com">benjamin@araisoft.com</A>> Araisoft Corp. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
