Hello,
I've been having update problems since yesterday on my f20 system. I
keep getting the above message can not retrieve metalink repository
fedora/20/i386.
At first I thought the repos were down, but a host and ping shows they're up.
I googled and saw similar issues, but without a fix, I'm hoping
someone can help me get my yum working again. If I change
skip_if_unavailable in fedora/20/i386 to true I then get the same
error with fedora/20/update repo, if I set that one to
skip_if_unavailable to true the process works, but I don't get any
updates. Here's my nonworking repo setup:
#yum update
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
--enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/20/i386. Please verify
its path and try again
