As I said before there is nothing wrong with your system. Yum is working properly. Your yum settings, however, are dependent upon the use of a list of mirrors (mirrorlist). Obviously, where you are located the mirrors selected are not communicating reliably with your system. The quick fix is to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo like so: $cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo [extras] name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$releasever enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras gpgcheck=1 [snip] Notice that I removed the "#" in front of "baseurl" and added one in front of "mirrorlist". This connects you to the main Extras server and should work for you. It may be slow because of heavy traffic. If you need a faster mirror go to http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html and select one. Visit the site using your web browser to get the URL specifics for the FC5 update files. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
