Is your Fedora machine behind proxy?

**jingoi** · 10-19-2010

yes fedora machine is behind the proxy..
I have run the above commanad
yum clean all
"Clean up Everything
0-delta package files removed by presto"
after that i run
yum install vnc
same error display

use this

Code:

rpm --rebuilddb

then yum
this command will rebuild the rpm database. try to upgrade again.

Since the machine is behind a proxy you will need to add the relevant proxy information in /etc/yum.conf.

Can you please define the proxy information define in yum.conf file
