[HSCR tmp]#
    things i tried

    Code:
    yum clean all
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpmdb -vv --rebuilddb

rpm -qa | grep yum-metadata-parser
rpm -ev --nodeps yum-metadata-parser-VERSIONFROMABOVECMD

cd /tmp
wget ft*://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux...8.fc6.i386.rpm
rpm -iv ./yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6.i386.rpm 
yum check-update
    i even tried the old windows trick of rebooting and it still does not work

    In the last line, with wget, I see mention of fc6. Fedora Core 6 is not supported anymore. If you are trying to connect to FC6 repositories, it may be giving you errors. Use this command to print the repositories that it is configured to use. Then check to see if they actually exist.
    Code:
    yum repolist
    Also, after running the cleanall command, rebuild the data with this command:
    Code:
    yum makecache

    Please do not send Private Messages to me with requests for help. I will not reply.

    here is the repolist
    Code:
    [HSCR ~]# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2323 Mar 16 21:30 CentOS-Base.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  626 Mar 16 21:30 CentOS-Media.repo
[HSCR ~]#
    the next part looked like it worked (output)
    Code:
    [HSCR ~]# yum clean all
