It looks like the biggest difference is the old one had a conf file for fastestmirror, but the new one has installonlyn conf file. I'll see what happens. Maybe it munged when I added the downloadonly plugin earlier. I wanted to have all the updates on the machine before I ran the upgrade.
Still borked, but less messages;
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 183, in main base.doTransaction() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 336, in doTransaction problems = self.downloadPkgs(downloadpkgs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 897, in downloadPkgs dirstat = os.statvfs(po.repo.pkgdir) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//var/cache/yum/updates/packages'
Is this the problem ^^^^^ /var/cache/yum/updates/packages exists and has same owner/perms as all the other dirs in the cache folder, although the double backslash looks suspicious to me.
