redhat 9 and yum

[mragain]

I'm trying to use yum to update a Redhat 9 box and keep getting the same errors when it runs. The version number of yum is 2.0.3 and the output is:

File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "yummain.py", line 183, in main
File "clientStuff.py", line 734, in get_package_info_from_servers
File "clientStuff.py", line 1108, in grab
File "urlgrabber.py", line 228, in retrygrab
File "urlgrabber.py", line 306, in urlgrab
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 138, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 322, in open
'_open', req)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 301, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 450, in <lambda>
lambda r, proxy=url, type=type, meth=self.proxy_open: \
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 457, in proxy_open
if '@' in host:
TypeError: iterable argument required

I thought it might have something to do with the proxy settings, but ftp_proxy, http_proxy, and https_proxy are all set correctly.

Thanks in advance.
