Thanks, I followed your advice.
Actually, "sudo yum remove perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.1.i386"
also removed one version of gnumeric
(which I don't use on this machine anyway).
-------------------------------
--> Processing Dependency: libperl.so for package: gnumeric
--> Running transaction check
---> Package gnumeric.i386 1:1.6.3-15.el5.2 set to be erased
-------------------------------
However, it turns out that there is still a working version of gnumeric
on the machine:
-------------------------------
[tim@helen ~]$ sudo rpm -qf /usr/bin/gnumeric
gnumeric-1.6.3-15.el5.2
-------------------------------

I've always wondered what the 1: means at the beginning of a package name?

Hi All,
I have installed fedora 15(fresh).And when I tried to update
it it gives error like this:
[root@localhost ~]# yum update

Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-15&arch=x86_64

I am using my net connection behind proxy server. So I also made the
changes in yum.conf file for proxy, proxy_username,proxy_password.

Could any one please help to come out from this problem.

Hi folks

bit of an odd one
over the last few days i have been getting

[Errno 14] HTTP Error 500: Internal Server error
Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=updates error
was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

(though not just with updates but any mirrorlist from CentOS-Base and
also fasttrack)

this happens when trying to do a yum update

when i try browsing to the mirrorlist address manually i get

Sorry, the requested URL
'http://backend/?ra=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx&&relea se=5&arch=i386&repo=os'
caused an error:

the x'd portion represents the boxes network address from my "provider
independent" ipv6 space which i recently moved to
I am dual-stacked

everything else is working and cached mirrors appear to work ok
using the baseurl instead also works but isn't something i want to do for long

any ideas?

mike
