yum is not working

[ridiculadank]

Hi all,

It must have been after the most recent update, b ut my command line yum does not work anymore. When I type in sudo yum [do something], nothing happens, like no output, nothing, it just ends in the next bash command line. However, the apper gui is still able to install packages, and update, so I'm not sure what is going on. Help would be appreciated!

When you type sudo yum what ?? Please elaborate.

When I type yum [do something] I get an error

[root@tower20 dev]# yum [do something]
Loaded plugins: etckeeper, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-
              : leaves, show-leaves
No such command: [do. Please use /bin/yum --help

Edit:

Actually, you may be having issues with sudo. Can you run yum if you use su - instead of sudo?

su -
(root password)

yum update

lol you get more out of sudo yum [do something] than I do. I get no response from yum even when I type "sudo yum [do something]".

When I su - into root, then type yum [do something] like yum update, yum makecache, yum search eclipse, yum install eclipse, etc, I still get absolutely no response or output.
