Default Yum "Cannot retrieve repository metadata" error

Hi all,

Since my latest rawhide update, performed on Dec 12 (with
--skip-broken enabled because of some broken dependencies and a
certain laziness on my side), my yum is giving me the following error:

Loaded plugins: presto
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
repository: rawhide. Please verify its path and try again

Here's a list of packages which got updated: http://berkenpies.nl/yum.log

I'd be more than happy to manually downgrade some packages but does
someone have any clue on which package could be causing this?

On a side note, yum was also complaining about
"/var/cache/yum/i386/13/rpmdb-cache" which didn't exist. To get rid of
this one, I manually created the directory.

Default Yum "Cannot retrieve repository metadata" error

I have the same problem. This is what i do to solve it.

edit /etc/hosts, add the following hosts

80.239.156.215 mirrors.fedoraproject.org
152.46.7.222 download.fedoraproject.org
209.132.183.67 download.fedora.redhat.com

use baseurl instead of mirrorlist repos.


BUT, when upgrade complete, i can not reboot or bootup

Thanks, that did the trick for me. Problem solved, I guess.

We've had some problems with DNS during the Fedora Infrastructure
move, but these should be resolved now, eliminating the need to edit
/etc/hosts or the yum .repo files.

If you find you still have problems, please file a ticket with Fedora
Infrastructure. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/

Thanks,
Matt

Default Yum "Cannot retrieve repository metadata" error

I have this problem too.

I believe the problem is in libcurl 7.19.7-8.fc13. If I downgrade to
curl/libcurl 7.19.6-10.fc12 the problem goes away.

If I run from a command line:

$ curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i386'

I now get:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2610:28:200:1::fed0:2: Network is unreachable

despite the fact that IPv6 is disabled. The ifcfg script includes IPV6INIT=no.

$ ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:38:C9:7E

My understanding is that Scope:Link means that is it can not be used
for internet access.

All other networking appears normal and works okay.
