From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: I ran 'yum update' earlier today (sat september 4) and it updated yum to new version. I then ran 'yum install' several times and 'yum update' once more and it completed successfully. However I later ran 'yum install tcsh', as I do superuser on a multiuser server and wanted tcsh for some scripts. It finished sucessful, and as I knew mirrors had been syncd at 3am I ran 'yum update' again. I recieved the error messages below. I can install software ok but no updates. I reverted my yum.conf with my mirrors back to default yum.conf with redhat server but same message. As I ran 'yum update' once before with new version of yum without error, may be a bug with repository?? I am not familiar enough with fedora(just linux/solaris in general) so I am in no position to speculate.

This is my basic /etc/yum.conf. Usually I have mirrors.usc.edu as default but until problem is resolved I will keep this as is.

Never mind, bug fixed in yum version 2.1.3
