    Hi

    As many ppl have read or expirenced, yum updates are suddenly turned into a
    nightmare.

    For 3 days now i cant update the system (and cPanel uses it too and hangs
    also with updates).
    ###################
    # yum clean all (i hated this because it deleted 200+ packages that i wanted
    to save for future boxes to update with to save bandwidth)
    Cleaning up Everything
    0 headers removed
    0 packages removed
    0 metadata files removed

    ^
    //var/cache/yum/dries/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<'
    not found

    ^
    Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: dries
    Error importing repomd.xml from dries: Error: could not parse file
    //var/cache/yum/dries/repomd.xml
    #######
    At the moment is stalls on "dries" but also happens on the others.
    This are the repo's i use:
    ########
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 Sep 21 19:04 dag.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 163 Sep 21 19:04 dries.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 255 Sep 21 19:04 extras.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233 Sep 21 19:04 fedora-devel.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 244 Sep 21 19:04 fedora.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 280 Sep 21 19:04 fedora-updates.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 282 Sep 21 19:04 fedora-updates-testing.repo
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 477 Sep 21 19:04 freshrpms.repo
    #########
    and disabled the -testing -devel repo's.
    I was in need to install a package but i went to the orginal site and
    downloaded a source and compiled it. I realy want to see this fixed.
    Because i am not the only user and i was not the first reporter of this.
    I hope the FC team / yum team will take a close look on this.
