I have centos 5.4 and trying the command "yum install yum-utils", it
gives me an error. I tried the "yum clean all"
and the did the command again with same message.
I only have [base] and [updates] in the repo.
yum install yum-utils
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Does 'rpm -Vv libxml2' show anything missing or broken? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
