I'm continuing to have problems with mirrorlist in yum. If I leave the 2 lines in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo ---------------------------------------- #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch ---------------------------------------- as is, and run "sudo yum update" then I get the error ---------------------------------------- Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again ---------------------------------------- If I comment in the first line, and comment out the second, then "sudo yum update" works fine. On the other hand, on my CentOS machine, the lines ---------------------------------------- mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ ---------------------------------------- work fine as they are. When I look with "tcpdump -i eth0" at the packets being sent to the internet, I see that the CentOS mirrorlist is being interpreted properly, and the packets are going to a mirror. But the Fedora mirrorlist is not interpreted. The packets are all sent to ---------------------------------------- 14:00:35.753120 IP 192.168.1.2.54778 > fedoraproject.org.http: . ack 1 win 46 <nop,nop,timestamp 46404715 59010547> ---------------------------------------- (This is true even on the CentOS machine; I cannot use the fedora mirrorlist for the Epel repository.) I'm completely baffled by this. I think it began a month or so ago, while running Fedora-10. But as I say, I have the same problem on the CentOS server, so it is nothing to do with the Fedora version. In brief, it seems the mirrorlist command is not being properly interpreted. I get the same problem with wget, but everything works fine under Windows. As always, any help gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
