[CentOS] Yum problem on Centos 5.3 (64-bit)

[John Kelly]

Hello,

Thanks to KB for the suggestion. The problem was indeed related to the file

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

A number of the sections (e.g. base, updates) had been set to enabled=0. When I commented out these lines, the yum updates worked fine...

Thanks,
John.
