+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #187189 +++ Description of the problem: Newbie with linux warning :) Same as Bug #187189, had to re-install to get kde on the machine. Then later i discovered that the menucommand Add / remove packages or smt like doesn't work (exits with "Unable to retrieve update information") nor does the package updater. Thought that network is the problem, i dont have internet connection at home, but surely i should be able to add & remove packages from a cd / harddrive?! Going to try the solution in Bug 185284 next.. export http_proxy etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: All the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Can't configure packages Expected results: Should be able to do it without internet connection? Additional info:

Resolved the problem last night by modifying repositories core, extras and update to disabled state. I now can use yum and rpm commands for package control which is all i need :)
