See if you have the repository information in /etc/yum.repos.d folder. If not, see what output this command gives,

rpm -q fedora-release

The output in my case is

fedora-release-16-1.noarch

If you do not get this, you can download the above package and install it using rpm. Hope this helps

I am getting the information that you mentioned.
yum upate gives the same message:
When I use rpm -ivh command it is saying authorization failed:


Is there any way in which I can reinstall yum package??

You can download those packages you need from this link.

Try this.

rpm -iV --replacepkgs fedora-release-16-1.noarch.rpm

This might fix it.

No use. It is giving the same message.

What do you see if you issue

PHP Code:

ls /etc/yum/pluginconf.d 


Here's mine

PHP Code:

[glenn@localhost ~>$ ls /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
fastestmirror.conf  langpacks.conf  local.conf  presto.conf  refresh-packagekit.conf 


What do you see if you issue

PHP Code:

rpm -qa | grep yum-plugin 


What do you see if you issue

PHP Code:

yum 


Have you been editing yum configuration files?

[avrsarma]

Thanks for your prompt response. It seems I messed up with some commands (like yum clean all etc)

Now, What I see when I issue the commands you mentioned:

1. ls /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
I see only presto.conf- means other files are missing (some how)

2. rpm -qa | grep yum-plugin

PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.6.21-2.fc16.i686
anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-6.fc15.noarch
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-2.fc16.noarch


3. yum

Kindly help me in somehow getting back missing files;

thank you again.

rpm --force -ivh http://sulawesi.idrepo.or.id/fedora/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-6.fc15.noarch.rpm http://sulawesi.idrepo.or.id/fedora/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/yum-langpacks-0.2.2-1.fc16.noarch.rpm http://sulawesi.idrepo.or.id/fedora/releases/16/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-2.fc16.noarch.rpm

[avrsarma]

I installed all the files with the command:
I am getting the following mesage now:

1. yum update

Then try this also,

 rpm --force -ivh http://sulawesi.idrepo.or.id/fedora/updates/16/x86_64/PackageKit-0.6.21-2.fc16.x86_64.rpm

And for now, you might want to do:

rpm -e yum-plugin-fastesmirror

Sometimes it can create more problems than it solves.
