RE: [CentOS] Re: mysqld breaks yum, help?

z00dax in irc made a good point, that I should mention that this is a VPS and i have root access. No one else is on this machine.

Furthermore, disabling the fastestmirror plugin solves the problem for now. (thanks z00dax)

If anything else weird happens i'll write back.

Thanks for the help.

Interesting...

Why does disabling something that the centos website says is "highly recommended" (multiple times) fix this issue?

For those that do not know, you can disable this plugin by removing it or by going to the /etc/yum directory, and then go to the plugin directory below there and editing the proper file and zeroing out the enable line
