My yum update for CentOS-2 started to fail a while ago. http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates/headers/header.info mentions this line: 1:IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386=i386/IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386.rpm But that file doesn't seem to exist anywhere. So I end up with this error and it exits. getting /var/cache/yum/update/headers/IBMJava2-JRE-1-1.3.1-10.i386.hdr Error getting file http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates//headers/IBMJava2-JRE-1-1.3.1-10.i 386.hdr [Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong Please help me understand how I can fix this. Or if it's just a bad header.info on the mirrors? Thanks! -- Josh Hildebrand
Thanks to whomever fixed the header.info file. It's working better now. -----Original Message----- From: centos-admin at caosity.org [mailto:centos-admin at caosity.org] On Behalf Of Josh Hildebrand Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2004 12:38 PM To: centos at caosity.org Subject: [Centos] yum fails on IBMJava2-JRE My yum update for CentOS-2 started to fail a while ago. http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates/headers/header.info mentions this line: 1:IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386=i386/IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386.rpm But that file doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

(I though I have better test if before I sent this email. I guess it is working now though) Sorry about that :( I should not have built the IBMJava2 packages becuse even though I don't allow them to get uploaded to the mirror, yum indexed them. I have now removed the packages from my repository and rebuild the yum headers so yum should work again. I have built the rest of the Q4 updates so if you notice anything else breaking, please let me know. John.
