Immediately after upgrading from Fedora 10 to 11, I did a "yum update". It downloaded about 120 packages, then gave me an error message (which I'm afraid I didn't save). Now when I try a "yum update" I get: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again In researching this I found some advice about switching the comments between the baseurl and mirrorlist lines in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo, but when I do that I get: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found and indeed when I look at: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/ there directories named 4 and 5 but not 6. Possibly I could get it to work by replacing the 6 in the URL above with a 5, but I thought I should check first lest I screw my system up by doing so. Here is the first item in my epel.repo: [epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/$basearch #mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL Thanks, Don Quixote -- Don Quixote de la Mancha quixote@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.dulcineatech.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
