Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pacific Northwest Posts: 14	Stuck in a loop with yum I tried to run a simple yum update, no different from many others that I have run successfully. This time, I got an endless loop of the following Trying other mirror. primary.xml.gz 100% \|=========================\| 337 kB 00:04 http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/core/...rimary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. . . . The same sequence then repeated, mirror after mirror after mirror, ending with the message Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. What is going on? Have the sites around the world changed something in the past week? Is a file of mine corrupted? Or is it something else?

Oh, hang on a moment, wrong film. No, it's a massive computer program like a big virtual reality game in which all human life is plugged into to disguise the fact that we're spending our lives living in a little pod never needing a haircut or needing to shave, and providing energy to a big supercomputer that we cant defeat. __________________ Linux user #126863 - see http://counter.li.org/
