I have 2 new servers built from 4.3 isos. I want to update them but cannot do that because of update issues:

Up2date fails because of a several dependency issues. yum update fails because of a problem with the au mirrors. yum can find the mirrors but not the headers.

I would recommend that you install yum-plugin-fastestmirror and enable plugins in /etc/yum.conf by adding:

plugins=1

Then you can rollover to 10 mirrors using the default configuration.

The up2date issue happened because of a bug with handling obsoletes ... which is fixed in an update :P

also ... header issues normally mean you need to clean your yum cache ....

yum clean cache
