    Yum Source distro Packages Not Working?

    Hey,
    My SL6.1 Distribution isn't connecting the the source packages from yum. It says something along the lines of the repo???.xml cannot be found for altrpms & sourceforge packages.

    I have already tried using the command:

    su yum clean all
    su yum update package-list

    but that failed to work.

    and
    su yum makecache

    Is there any other way i can try?
    Like uninstalling the source from yum then reinstalling it?

    Thanks
    SL6-A1000

    Could you be more specific with your error messages?
    If you could paste the entire errors here in [CODE] tags, perhaps someone could point you ion the right direction.

    I fixed the problem, i think it was to do with the trouble i was having with my modem, because i fixed that today & i can now update from yum properly.

    Thanks for the help anyway.
