4.3.7. Testing & Troubleshooting the YUM Configuration

Before you use the (modified) configuration file, take it for a test run to see if you have configured YUM properly.
Procedure 4.1. Testing a YUM configuration file
  1. # yum -c /path/to/configuration/file \
    clean all
  2. # yum -c /path/to/configuration/file \
    list kernel
Should this show errors, or fail otherwise, add -d 9 to the command line in order to have YUM spit out more detailed debugging output. This detailed output should leave you a clue or two about what might be wrong with the configuration.
