Hi all, I'm having trouble running yum, I get the "Cannot open/read repomd.xml file ..." message. Perhaps I'm just not pointing at the right URL? Things were working fine as recently as April 3rd (noted in yum.log contents below). I have recently run "yum clean all" but still get the same outcome. Is this just a matter of updating a URL in a .repo file or some other issue(s)? I've read many email chains showing this message, so include the various files they refer to below. Any info appreciated. Here's an example update attempt: [smckinney@mb1 yum.repos.d]$ sudo yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:52:31 GMT Server: Apache Content-Length: 249 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror.
