up2date errors

[frozenpeas]

Hi, I'm trying to run up2date. Right now I'm trying just: up2date up2date but am getting this:

Retrieving list of all available packages...

Removing installed packages from list of updates...
100.0%
Removing packages marked to skip from list...

  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 218, in md5
    f = open(fileName, "r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/html/index.html'[/URL]
[root@scout /]#

Any idea why? I don't have anything in that directory... but why does up2date need to get there anyway? I would really like to get my system updated.

Thanks for your help.

do you get the same error if you try to upgrade up2date using rpm from the command line?

 

[frozenpeas]

Please forgive my idiocy... how do I go about doing that?

Thanks.

Hi,

You might try a newer version. Some older versions may not let you just run: > up2date up2date

You might have to get the latest package at

https://rhn.redhat.com/

or ftp.redhat.com

I cannot run up2date on anything...

What version of RH are you running and have you tried opting only to update the up2date package before trying to update anything else?

 

[frozenpeas]

I am running RH 7.0... this is the first method I have tried to update anything.

I'm downloading RH8 right now... I'll update it from that for now.

Thanks for your help.
