I just had problems with yum myself... a few things I learned that might help: clean up your yum data: yum clean all clean up your rpm data: rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm --rebuilddb I think those are the basics... hopefully that does something!

Ever since, doing yum update I get this at the terminal: [jmoore@localhost ~]$ yum update Config Error: Error accessing file for config <a href="file:///etc/yum.conf">file:///etc/yum.conf</a> I have checked out /etc/ (doing su -) and found that yum.conf looked like yum.conf~. Thought that might be the problem so I renamed it back to yum.conf but I still get the same problem at the terminal. Oh, and Yumex just flashes open but doesn't stay open. That is, Yumex also doesn't work. Any suggestions?
