I can't use yum, and I don't have any idea what the problem is. Yesterday, I posted a message with the error message generated by the "yum list available |more" command.

[sher@localhost ~]$ yum list available |more Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of //var/cache/yum/sl-errata/primary.xml.gz from sl-errata Setting up Repos Reading repository metadata in from local files [sher@localhost ~]$ </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> FWIW, when I get yum errors like this I run yum as root so it can fix its cache. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com"><mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com></a> ' <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.georgeanelson.com/"><http://www.georgeanelson.com/></a> </pre> </blockquote> Dear Tony: That's right on target! That's what resolved this isseu (see my subsequent "Solved" message). I didn't know why it fixed itself, but now I know why. I ran it as root once or twice and suddenly it was working fine. I then ran it as user and it worked fine as user. Thanks for this little piece of critical knowledge. Benjamin </body> </html>
