hello list,
I keep on having problems with yum. The next message shows when I try $
yum check-update or yum update
]$ yum check-update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 163, in main
(log, errorlog, filelog, conf, cmds) = parseCmdArgs(args)
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 75, in parseCmdArgs
conf=yumconf(configfile=yumconffile)
File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 48, in __init__
self.cfg.read(configfile)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 263, in read
self._read(fp, filename)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/ConfigParser.py", line 456, in _read
raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fpname, lineno, `line`)
ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.
file: /etc/yum.conf, line: 1
'\xef\xbb\xbf[main]\n'
Considering there could be multiple installation faults I dowmlaoded and
installed yum again, but that does not solve the problem.
Getting desperate,
Peter.
