Hi I got a different error trying to yum install a package, can anyone help with this? Is this a problem with the download site?

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
atrpms-bleeding ATrpms for Fedora Core 9 bleeding enabled
dag Dag enabled
extras Fedora Extras - 9 - i386 enabled
fedora Fedora 9 - i386 enabled
freshrpms FreshRPMS-Fresh enabled

Hiisi. You need to get rid of many of those repos, or at least disable them and use them only when necessary.

Yes, I know. It was long time ago, in Fedora 9 :-) It's my girlfriend' laptop. Later I installed F 10 on it but because it's hard to persuade her that bloody edge is a right chose for her I had been forced to install Ubuntu on it...
