Nonetheless, like some others on the list I am getting this error from
yum after installing the rpmfusion repos:
[root@neuron ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-updates-released-10&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-nonfree-updates. Please verify its path and try again
These repos were installed using the command suggested by Kevin Kempter:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
which installed just fine.
In fact:
[root@neuron ~]# rpm -qa | fgrep rpmfus
rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8-6.noarch
rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch
I can get to the metadata file "repomd.xml" just fine by plugging the
URL from the rpmfusion repo into Firefox, but try as I might, yum
refuses to go there or work at all unless I disable the rpmfusion
repos.
Can anyone help me (other some others) fix this?
Thanks
Try using the main rpmfusion server. Edit the rpmfusion repo files in
/etc/yum.repos.d directory, enable the baserul (i.e. remove the "#"
character), and disable the mirrorlist (i.e place a "#" at beginning
of line).

Quoting:
=== Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-foo. Please verify its path and try again ===
Yum cannot connect to the RPM Fusion servers if you get above message. That could be a problem with your local network or a problem with the !MirrorManager servers from RPM Fusion. If it's the latter use this comment to temporary work around the problem:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^#baseurl|baseurl| ; s|^mirrorlist|#mirrorlist|' /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
}}}
To undo the change later use this command:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^baseurl|#baseurl| ; s|^#mirrorlist|mirrorlist|' /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
}}}
