I believe this could be the case. I was actually looking at the wrong error log before, the invalid repomd message occurred in the first output, not the second. For the second, the message: Error setting up repositories: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: f17-x86_64-everything. Please verify its path and try again is the important one. It would seem to indicate a connectivity issue. As I said, try and run the reposync directly from the command line to ascertain whether the issue is with cobbler or with the system configuration overall. You can specify environment variables with cobbler, so if you need to set a proxy you can do it there. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
