Hello Rex,

Do you have any idea what's the source of this [1] error breakage?
(I wonder if the Null part is a bug within yum itself?)

See /etc/yum.conf and look for
distroverpkg=...
The version of *that* package is what is used to substitute the value of
$releasever inside of *.repo files. It seems it's not evaluating it
properly and returning "Null" instead of the version of fedora you're using.

Baaah.
No go.

$ cat /etc/yum.conf | grep distroverpkg
distroverpkg=redhat-release

I assume that it doesn't look like a kde-redhat specific issue....

No. Is $releasever spelled correctly in your .repo file? (:

I'm using the original file from kde-redhat.sourceforge.net (which
points only to mirrorlist)

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo | egrep -e 'base|mirror'
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/stable/mirrors
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-testing
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/testing/mirrors
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-unstable
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/unstable/mirrors

The mirrors seems just fine. ($releasever and all).
I'm lost... :(

FYI.
As assumed this was not a KDE-RH problem - but a system-wide one.
I forced install fedora-release* and the problem went away.

Opening a bug report about it is rather useless - as I've got no way of
reproducing the problem :(
(This is my main workstation - I cannot afford to keep it off-line)

Thanks for help,
- Gilboa

$ cat /etc/yum.conf | grep distroverpkg
distroverpkg=redhat-release
Shouldn't that be:
distroverpkg=fedora-release
?

I checked it on 4 different machines (FC5/6, i386/x86_64), and all have
fedora-release
