RE: Problem with "yum"
Either there is something in your /etc/yum.repos.d that is pointing to that site Or there is one of the mirrorlists that your /etc/yum.repos.d is pointing to, that is.

I think he needs to exclude the mono repo; the adobe one seems fine from his output (thanks for including it!). yum --disablerepo=mono list On 07/22/2012 12:06 PM, Steven C Timm wrote: Either there is something in your /etc/yum.repos.d that is pointing to that site Or there is one of the mirrorlists that your /etc/yum.repos.d is pointing to, that is.

Re: Problem with "yum"
Thank You All Advice worked perfectly and is appreciated. Since we don't use adobe I think we can just get rid of the adobe-linux stuff.
