[rhelv6-list] yum update fails / problem - SOLVED .... strange :-/

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

searching further more, I got the hint, that it might be a DNS resolving
issue. [1]

The server with the update problem was resolving at localhost as it is
our DNS server.

Changing from localhost to the serves IP worked.

Strange :-/

	Regards . Götz
