Re: yum - missing dependencies ?

HI ,

Could you please tell me how to update the yum software on RHEL-5 ?
I want to update "yum tool" to the latest version so that I will get more
options for installing the software using yum.

[root@pvfs3 ~]# uname -a
Linux pvfs3 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@pvfs3 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)
Kernel \r on an \m

[root@pvfs3 ~]# yum --version
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
3.0.1

[root@pvfs3 ~]# yum

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
