Help with YDL 5 PUP connection

[vger2]

I am having trouble getting PUP to connect to do updates on my YDL 5. It connects like it's going to update, then gives me a message saying there was a network error. I do have a connection to the internet. :??

I think yum is the preferred package manager. You have to edit /etc/yum.conf file and un-comment the repositories.

Thanks for the response. Looks like when you edit the /etc/yum.conf file and uncomment the repositories it also fixes the PUP connection issue.:smile2

I am having the same issue and I am not clear on what exactly I need to edit. Here is my conf:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=yellowdog-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
repos=/etc/yum.repos.d

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
