I loaded yum on my system and tried to use it to upgrade from RH9 to
Fedora. It runs for a while and gives me a package error on pine. Any
ideas?

YUM Output

#yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1
Server: Fedora Core 1 Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
.package pine needs libcom_err.so.3 (not provided)

Here's my /etc/yum.conf

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

[fedora-core-1]
name=Fedora Core 1
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os
gpgcheck=1

[fedore-core-1-updates]
name=Fedora Core 1 Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1
gpgcheck=1

TIA,
