yum error in FC3

[William Lovaton]

Hi there,

I have been using FC3 for a while and lately I have
been getting an error in yum that won't let me execute
the regular updates for my system.

/var/log/yum.log show the last update was in December
23.

This is muy output:
[root at nalwalovaton ~]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 8, in ?
    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 51, in
main
    base.getOptionsConfig(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 133, in
getOptionsConfig
    self.conf = yumconf(configfile = yumconffile,
root=root)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line
227, in __init__
    self._doFileRepo(fn)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line
299, in _doFileRepo
    doRepoSection(self, repoconf, section)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line
313, in doRepoSection
    mirrorurls = getMirrorList(mirrorlist)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line
395, in getMirrorList
    content = fo.readlines()
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/urlgrabber/keepalive.py",
line 391, in readlines
    line = self.readline()
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/urlgrabber/keepalive.py",
line 376, in readline
    new = self._raw_read(self._rbufsize)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 409, in
read
    s = self.fp.read(amt)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/socket.py", line 301, in
read
    data = self._sock.recv(recv_size)
socket.error: (104, 'Conexi\xc3\xb3n reinicializada
por la m\xc3\xa1quina remota')



BTW, that last line means:
socket.error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')

I use FC3 in both, my workstation at the office and a
production web server with high load.  In both of them
I get the very same error.

Any help will be highly appreaciated.
