[CALUG] FC4 update issues?

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

I am just guessing here. It would seem that Joe might have been worried 
that VMWare may have been interfering somehow with the yum process. And 
it would seem that he might care about either yum or links as they (more 
likely, links) might be used by the CPAN module installers.

I would suggest finding out where yum puts its master indexes and/or 
partially downloaded packages. Perhaps removing them if they are corrupt 
might help. Then again, perhaps the RPM database is corrupt.
