Hello LUGers, It seems that I only post here about problems. I had this yum problem for a while on FC5. A few weeks ago I upgraded to FC6 and the problem persists. An error occurs whenever I use yum like this:
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-6 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core I did some search and I tried some of the suggested solutions to such a problem including "yum clean all, yum clean headers..." The problem seems to be in the main repository "core". Some suggested that my Geographical location may contribute to the problem so I had to explicitly specify using the base repository, but it doesn't make any sense since I was able to use yum from before. I did it anyway, with no change. here is the main part of my core config file: [core] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/ $releasever/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core- $releasever enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY I tried with both commented/uncommented baseurl & mirrorlist. I tried to clean the database, headers, cache... I tried to remove the yum, yum-metada-parser and yum-updatesd packages and installed them again, I tried to install other versions of the packages, I even tried to rebuild the rpm database but still have the same problem :( I have a feeling there is something trivial here. Any help is appreciated. Mohammad K. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jolug" group.
