Yum stopped working

[michael1968]

Hallo,

i recently updated my fc2test1 installation using yum. The yum package itself also got updated to yum-2.0.5.20040229-1.

Now, whenever i run a "yum check-update" or "yum update" i get the following error:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - i386 - Base
Server: fedora stable
Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?

File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 919, in download_headers
cachedbdict = returnCacheDBHeaders(nulist)
File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 901, in returnCacheDBHeaders
mi = cachedb.dbMatch()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'cachedb' referenced before assignment


Any solution to this ?

Thanks in advance
Michael
