Hello,

I am running Centos 4 fully updated (as of 1 week ago)

I tried to use yum last night and I got this error:

[root@localhost share]# yum update

I removed yum and re-installed it from the RPM on the install disk.

I googled but I did not find anything that made sense to me.

Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
