I'm having a problem with a fairly new server. Running yum upgrade I get the following:

your .repo files and/or repo setup in /etc/yum.conf is broken

your .repo files and/or repo setup in /etc/yum.conf is broken
Copied /etc/yum directory from a working server, preserving the old one, and it seems to be working so far. 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;

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.

you have something quite broken on the machine, check for non centos s/w installed, and rpm -V check the installed pkgs, specially yum and python and all the bits they need.
how about drive space / permissions etc ?

I think I have it solved. A backup script was munging a directory in the yum cache. This run seems to be going without error.

Copied yum.conf, /etc/yum/ and /etc/yum.d/ from working server, but still no joy.

[cut] Hi! I've resolved it checking (manually) the lastest version of yum and some related packages:
yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos.noarch.rpm yum-refresh-updatesd-1.1.10-9.el5.centos.noarch.rpm yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5.noarch.rpm
which I manually updated with a "yum localinstall ./yum-* " command after having *disabled* any other 3rd-party repository present in my sources list.
Everything went ok after having done this. Good luck (if you still haven't found a solution on this topic!)

Thanks for the reply, but this was solved a few weeks ago. It just shows in another branch of the thread.

yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1
I did do a yum update yum* on this machine last week.
Downgrading the yum updates didn't help. If no one has any other suggestions, I am going to try an upgrade with the anaconda installer by booting from the DVD this weekend.
Machine isn't in production yet, but is near and a full wipe/install will put me behind several weeks.
