you probably want to use preconf so: yb = yum.YumBase() yb.preconf.debuglevel=0 yb.preconf.errorlevel=0 > (2) When I run this as non-root, it works, *unless* the yum repo is > not up to date.

Do you want a different set of config files or a different set of repos entirely? like above yb.preconf.fn = '/path/to/my/conf/file' and then specifiy the .repos.d path in the conf file you made. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
