The mirrorlist entry in my Fedora-11 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo
reads:
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-
f$releasever&arch=$basearch
As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for
the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ?
If I try "sudo yum update" I get:
-----------------------------------
[tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo yum update

-----------------------------------
When I look at the http traffic on my server with wireshark
the file-request seems to be properly sent,
but the file is not found.
The symptoms seem to me (no http expert) to suggest
that there is some condition for seeing this file
that my system is not fulfilling.
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
