You could change the line in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo from this: mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ to this: #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ NOTE: this can result in slower updates as there are not nearly as many servers on mirror.centos.org as the mirrorlist .. but it is an option. I am sure that is also going to wrap .. ================== For informational purposes (about the actual bash issue): http://red.ht/1uZGljA -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
