well, I'm now much better off in consequence of disabling epel, 179 updates went through just fine. the cleanup with yum didn't seem to have the desired effect: [r...@cserver admin]# yum check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: ftp.telus.net * base: ftp.telus.net * epel: linux.mirrors.es.net * extras: ftp.telus.net * updates: ftp.telus.net gmime.i386 2.2.25-1.el5 epel wxBase.i386 2.8.11-1.el5 epel wxGTK.i386 2.8.11-1.el5 epel [r...@cserver admin]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Cleaning up Everything Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors [r...@cserver admin]# yum clean metadata Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities 0 metadata files removed 0 sqlite files removed 0 metadata files removed [r...@cserver admin]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=addons error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: addons [r...@cserver admin]# so definite progress but not quite there yet. thanks for the help.
