hi Bill :-) Could you mind issuing the following commands ? :
rhn_check yum repolist echo $http_proxy echo $ftp_proxy grep -i proxy /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date curl http://www.google.com >From the package list you sent, they all lock actual, valid package names. My best bet is a proxy/connectivity issue (or an non-updated RHN mirror, but that has never happened to me. The packages you mention where released in 2009....) cheers On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 19:29, Bill Watson <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy, > > I know enough to get into trouble, and maybe a little bit more.
