I've got 3 systems in this office running 9.2 Professional.
The laptop uses DHCP, the two desktops have static IP addresses.
The sysconfig proxy lists an http proxy and no ftp proxy.
The /etc/sysconfig/proxy scripts are identical on the two desktop systems,
yet on the newer desktop, when I use YOU, the "Retrieving information..."
box completes immediately and YOU says there are no patches even when I
click on reload all patches. The older desktop system and the laptop both
access the mirror and retrieve the patches.
I did a successful rpm --rebuilddb.
As an example, I checked the installed version of imlib on the older system,
and it is 1.9.14-188.2, where on the newer system it is 1.9.14-188 which
indicates that the rpm database should be ok on the newer system.
