SupportProblem on a SLC4 machine with "Everything" installed, YUM gives errors such as "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: DAG"
SupportAnswer The "Everything" installation includes some RPMs that do not work in the CERN context. This includes certain YUM plugins like fastestmirror-asyncore that need a different style of repository configuration from the one used on SLC4 (The "DAG" in this case is a local copy of Dag Wieer's repository).

In such cases, please check whether the "CERN recommended" installation would not be a better long-term choice - you may hit other issues as well.

To fix the problem at hand, remove the yum-fastestmirror* RPMs, or disable them by setting "enabled=0" in their respective configuration files under /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
