Description of problem: When I boot my machine running Fedora 8, yum-updatesd runs and tells me I have almost 300 security updates needed for my machine (I haven't updated in a while). I try to download and run the updates, and yum requests I insert the Fedora 8 disc, when I do that the application seizes and generates a dump, (which I've attached). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.7 How reproducible: difficult, depends on the machine configuration Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run yum-updatesd 2. Wait until the program prompts for disc 3. Insert disc and press OK 4. Here is where my error occurs Actual results: I receive the error report from yum. Expected results: yum should gather the header information from the fedora disc and download the updates, since I seem to be unable to connect to the fedora repos. Additional info:

Are there any read errors reading from your CD drive in dmesg?
