Yum stopped working after F14 -> F15 upgrade
 

Hello,

I have upgraded from F14 to F15 using preupgrade and everything seems
to be okay except yum. Whenever I run yum, it terminates giving the
error:

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: updates. Please verify
its path and try again

The error message appeared for other repositories also. In order to
sort out the problem I have tried out the following:

1. Disabled livna, rpmfusion and other repositories.
2. Disabled ipv6
3. Created entries in /etc/hosts for mirror.fedoraproject.org
4. Reinstalled yum, fedora-release-15-1

However, none of this has solved the problem. DNS is working fine and
all other internet applications are able to resolve sites. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Don't recall offhand where yum looks for its http proxy configuration. If
you have network connectivity, the only thing I can think of would be broken
http proxy config. Look into that.

Thanks, it was broken proxy configuration indeed.
