Here from testing - which works properly:

$ rpm -q yum
yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90

/etc/yum.conf contains (the failover addresses commented out for
testing):

[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/os/$basearch/

Finding updated packages

I suggest: rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
and put a trailing slash at the end of each baseurl entry (just
to be
sure).

As being Australian I recommend setting up the Australian mirror
servers in yum.conf and maybe the fedoralegacy.org main server
as a failover baseurl.

Hi,
 sorry about the html I thought I was sending text, so I hope
that this is in text.

I followed the instructions above but I am still getting the
original error message.
