hi, I'm looking for help getting yum working on my system. It was working, but then at some point stopped being able to connect to anything. I use FC4 x86_64 and set up my yum with rpmforge repos. Now though yum cant connect and I get something like: [root@ORION liam]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories core [1/3] <...a long pause...> Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I've uninstall yum and installed 2.6 by src.rpm but to no avail. At the moment I only have one repo file: [core] name=FreshRPMS-Core baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/core http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/core failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 [updates] name=FreshRPMS-Updates baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/updates http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/updates failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 [freshrpms] name=FreshRPMS-Fresh baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms failovermethod=priority enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 can anyone suggest a way to tackle this problem. I am a bit stuck without yum, and havent managed to find answers on google or the FC4 forums. I'm starting to think this may not be a yum problem, but something deeper. When I do: [root@ORION yum.repos.d]# wget http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc4/i386/RPMS.dries/rpmforge-release-0.2-2.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm --20:52:03-- http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc4/i386/RPMS.dries/rpmforge-release-0.2-2.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm => `rpmforge-release-0.2-2.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm' Resolving ftp.belnet.be... 32.1.6.168, 2001:6a8:3c80:0:203:baff:fe39:f931 Connecting to ftp.belnet.be|32.1.6.168|:80... <...long pause...> failed: Connection timed out. Connecting to ftp.belnet.be|2001:6a8:3c80:0:203:baff:fe39:f931|:80... failed: Address family not supported by protocol. But I can find this file through firefox without any trouble, so maybe theres something stopping the connection from wget. Does yum use wget under the hood? any solutions or suggestions of ways to narrow down the problem would be much appreciated. Liam
