yum prob on lappy

[Gene Heskett <gene heskett verizon net>]

Greetings;

Over the weekend I tried to drag out my lappy and update it, getting ready 
to upgrade to FC6, its currently FC5, but about 2 weeks out of date.

To make a long story shorter, what with editing the repo addresses, putting 
fedoraproject.org in where downloads-redhat.com was due to the repo or 
mirroring failures, I now have a __.000db file that when I shut it down 
yesterday, was a zero length file and both yumex and smart package manager 
were spitting out terminal tummy aches over it.  An 'rpm --rebuilddb' also 
fails, as does an "rpm --initdb"

Humm, now this morning, its back to complaining about an "invalid baseurl 
for core".

As that _000.db file seems to be missing now, and its not bitching about it 
ATM, whats the next step here?, I've been out of the loop since last 
wednesday, out on the road.  So if its been posted, whats the subject 
line?

Cheers, Gene
