up2date doesnt work anymore!

External Since: Apr 03, 2006 Posts: 1

I get this (from the console, if I launch it from menu it just
freezes).
....
An error has occurred:
exceptions.ValueError
See /var/log/up2date for more information

It happens after:
Fetching rpm header: system-config-nfs-1.3.19-0.fc4.2 - but it happened
also with other packages in other cases.

RPM version: up2date-4.4.23-4, up2date-gnome-4.4.23-4

last lines in the log:

It never worked very well anyway. Just open a terminal and type "yum -y
