[Fwd: yum updates]

[Timo Bergemann]

Hello,
thank for your reply.
just to make it complete...
I assumed that something changed, that the installer does not anymore a 
chroot by default.
But it should, as I just found options to disables this like %post 
--nochroot.
anyway, yum is running again.
I simply had some errors in my post installations which confused yum 
that much that it was not working anymore like written below.

Thanks Seth,
 your hind was directing me in the right direction. THX

Timo
