Hi,

I setup my yum update to use the mirror at kernel.org and enabled daily
automatic updates.

I received the following email (from failed cron job) for the last few
weeks (since 03/10/04, my last successful update was 03/09/04):

==================================================================
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:
 
Error getting file

[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
==================================================================

If I ran "yum update" from the command line as root, I get:

==================================================================
[root at gao-2004 root]# yum update

Could anyone let me know what my problem is?

TIA,
