yum update issue 1

[nyck]

Hello,

Yesterday I ran a yum update on all my Linux RH5.6 Servers and now when I run the same command I getting the following error:-

yum update

My knowledge of such things stops at this:
When Yum "Goes off to see God",
"Yum clean all"
seems to bring it back to working condition.

Hello,

I tried the 'yum clean all' but to no avail.

Only then did I discover the reason this was happening was because the Red Hat network was down. When it eventually came back later in the day all was fixed

Yep
That usually does it
unless it is 100% critical it is always worth waiting a day & retesting
