[NBLUG/talk] yum freaked out

[Sean]

While I haven't used Yum in awhile (I use Debian these days), I found
something that might help you out:

http://www.nabble.com/yum-error-td23219075.html

"yum clean all

then rerun yum

there is a yum-metadata-parser update that is not far off to handle this
problem some folks are seeing. "

Found the same/similar answer here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3481

" "yum clean metadata" allows openmotif22 install to complete. " (the
openmotif22 seemed to be giving this individual the same errors you
were getting)

Hope this helps!

Sean
