I am having massive trouble with yum, before and after upgrade to fedora 7
here is the output:
>yum update yumex
Setting up Update Process
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-7&arch=x86_64 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
http://mirror.nuvio.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora
I know I am pointing at a certain repository, but it is sane, and if I use the mirror list, and cant read it, with a similar error - that is the first set. so it kind of looks like there is some communication error, but I have no clue why. this happens with or without the firewall, and the urls work - I am totally stuck! this is the first time in >10yrs of using linux I have had a problem I cannot fix myself!
I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!
