This message, from Max Kanat-Alexander in a parallel thread, is the fix to my and many other people's similar problem: > On Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:14:24 -0500 Jim <mickeyboa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> > > Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for > > repository: rpmfusion-free-updates.

The FAQ contains a clear solution which worked immediately for me. The FAQ entry also contains a pointer to _this bug_: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459756 which has more than 70 comments, many of which are complaining about why this bug has so far not been fixed. For many, this bug is rendering F10 useless. Indeed Chris Terpak (comment 71 in the bug report) says it very well: I pulled my hair out trying to find this. IMHO, this bug is not a 'medium' priority - it makes F10 useless. I disagree that users should have to go and try and find downstream software that uses glibc when it is glibc that changed (and I read every entry in this thread). F6,7,8,9 were all fine on the exact same hardware. This should be critical priority not medium. Forcing a user to install BIND or DNSMASQ as a work around is utter nonsense. I couldn't agree more.
