Hello,
I am using the internet through a goverment proxy. I am trying to update using "yum". This does not seem to work. I do not have yumex installed, and since I can't use yum, I can't install yumex.
Is there a way to get yum (and Klamav) through an automaticly updating proxy configuration url?
I am using fedora 16.
My version of yum is yum-3.4.3-7.fc16.noarch.
This url, directly below, from 2010 states that yum is not able to do this. Is this still true?

I have tried various protocals from the following urls.

I had tried various urls, and schemes of hashing/unhashing variables in files. I check the varialbes by "echo $<varialbe_name>" in the command prombt.
The errors I recieve are below:
$ sudo yum check-update

If I am unable to do this with the current version of yum (or Klamav), could you still point out how to do this with the newest vesrion of the programs?

Hello,
Sorry if I am replying to my message, but I have tried to solve the problem with no avail.
The recent progress includes me trying to install yumex via my browser because I read that you could easily configure yumex with a proxy. That went fine, but when I try to select repositories, yumex closes with errors.
When I run yumex -n and deselect all of the repositories except the Adobe repo. I still have some functionality to yumex. Yumex is able to tell me what packages I need to download to update flash. However, when I try to update flash, I get the following errors:
20:12:20 : WARNING: Failure getting
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux...ease.i386.rpm:
20:12:20 : WARNING: Trying other mirror.
20:12:20 : ERROR: Error in yum Transaction : [u'Errors were encountered while downloading packages.', 'flash-plugin-11.2.202.233-release.i386: failure: flash-plugin-11.2.202.233-release.i386.rpm from adobe-linux-i386: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.']
Any help would be great
