This is perplexing.
on a Centos 5.1 box that I am trying to upgrade, I keep getting:
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>
from my local repo. I did a blank system install via http from this server with no problem.
For instance, if I limit myself to:
yum upgrade yum
I get:

Error: failed to retrieve CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm from base error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>
Yet on the system I built, yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5.i386.rpm is there, and I have done a yum update on that system already (how I learned there are bunches of updates out there).
I suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
BTW, I did a yum upgrade kernel* and that worked fine. I was going to try to upgrade piece-by-piece, as this is a slow box.
