(SOLVED) yum update failing: header not complete
Submitted by Zildjian26 on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 7:19am.
Trying to update packages via yum is giving me major problems. I searched all over the forums, seems like lots of others have had issues over the past several months, but no concrete resolutions. I tried everything I could find that was suggest: yum clean all, swapped out my router, disabled firewall packet inspection, nothing seems to be working.
Here is an attempt to yum update just after running yum clean:
[root@asterisk1 yum.repos.d]# yum update

I tried yum update --exclude=net-tools, but then it just fails the same way on the next package it tries.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I'm able to wget files from yum.trixbox.org/...
The problem was my untangle

The problem was my untangle appliance. Don't know if anyone here has heard of that, but www.untangle.com is a software appliance that provides spam/virus detection and internet content control among other things. I had my trixbox server running through the DMZ port on the untangle server, and that apparently was corrupting the yum headers. I simply bypassed the untangle box and plugged the trixbox server directly into my router, and all is well.
