Yum problems for fedora-extras....

[Irving, Dave]

Hi,

Im trying to install some Fedora Extras...
I've followed the instructions
(http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/EXTRAS) to
add [extras] to my /etc/yum.repos.d dir and I've imported the
Fedora-Extras RPM GPG Key in to my rpm database like this:

rpm --import
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fe
dora-Extras

The rpm bit seemed to work.....
When I connect to the internet, I need to use a proxy server.. For rpm
this was fine (I just used --proxyhost x --proxyport y).
For yum, I've read that I need to have $http_proxy exported... I've done
this.
So, time to download a package... Im trying to get gnome_phone_manager
to work, and from the instructions Im following
(http://hem.bredband.net/miko22/INSTALL.html), I need to get hold of
libsigc++-devel.
I gave this a try:

yum -t --enablerepo=extras install gnome-bluetooth libsigc++-devel

The result? A load of python errors:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 299, in
_doFileRepo
    doRepoSection(self, repoconf, section)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 313, in
doRepoSection
    mirrorurls = getMirrorList(mirrorlist)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 390, in
getMirrorList
    fo = urlresolver.urlopen(url)
[snip]
TypeError: iterable argument required

So now Im lost... Can anyone help with what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dave
