Description of problem: Running yum, even pointing it at Red Hat's own servers, says there are no updates. "yum clean all" doesn't help, only deleting the cachecookie files (empty?) for the relevant repositories fixes this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.9.6-1 How reproducible: Hard to say. Happened yesterday and today for the daily update. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Is your time off? (or was it previously)
Very unlikely. Running on NTP all the time.
One thing I forgot to mention: Yesterday I couldn't get the headers on the first try, so I went adding "--exclude=foo" until it finally worked and a bunch of packages got installed (some 90MiB in all, no failures to find updates in between the many tests!), after that finished it started claiming there where no updates. Today I installed monotone-0.30 (self-built RPM from the SRPM at the site) before via rpm (not yum). So it looks it might have something to do with sucessful yum/rpm runs?
is this still happening?
Nope, has been working fine for some time now. I think you can close it now.
