Yes i noticed that while installing the upgrades it installed a new yum.conf.

yum upgrades always seem to break the yum.conf file. This is an upstream issue (as it's present in FC2 as well).

I've gotten so irritated by it I have a cron that I run every 10 minutes to restore "my" yum.conf and apt .list files.

Hello centOS users,

Today i've installed a fresh centos 3.1, and modified the [update] section of my/etc/yum.conf, to point on my own update repository.

My update repository (3.1) contains exactly the same content that the official one. Update was successful but now /etc/yum.conf is missing :(

Here it is what i've noticed during the update process:

# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 3.1 (final)

#yum update

[...] warning: /etc/yum.conf created as /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew yum 100 % done 96/191 [...] warning: /etc/centos-base-yum.conf saved as /etc/centos-base-yum.conf.rpmsave Completing update for yum - 110/191 [...] Transaction(s) Complete

# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 3.3 (final)

=> files /etc/yum.conf* /etc/yum.conf -> /etc/centos-base-yum.conf ( Broken link! read the rest) /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew /etc/yum.conf-SAVE

=> files /etc/centos*

/etc/centos-base-yum.conf.rpmsave /etc/centos-yum.conf

I don't understand what happened :-O An idea ?

But here, there no yum.conf anymore ... this is a broken link. anyway /etc/yum.conf-SAVE contains my modified yum configuration. By renaming it i'm able to continue. Without doing that, yum simply don't have configuration file.

I would beg to differ.

yum 2.0.8 rpm definitely provides a yum.conf file.

The centos-yumconf scriptlets are eating it, most likely though.
