directly. All attempts to run yum result in this message. [jhg@athena etc]$ yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Error http://osdir.com/ml/linux.rpm.yum/2004-03/msg00109.html - /var/cache/yum/base/header.info cannot be found Please ask your sysadmin to update the headers on this system. Does "this system" refer to mine or the server? If it's mine, how do I create header.info? If it's the server, why's it trying to access something in /var, which it can't possibly get to through http: or ftp:? /etc/yum.conf (excerpt) [base] name=Fedora Core error - $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ Misleading error message aside, I assume yum wants me to build an initial database of what's actually installed on my system, and put it in /var/cache/yum/base. However, a thorough search of the yum website, the yum RPM contents and Google Groups turned up nothing on initial configuration and how to set things up.
