This is very strange - has been happening the last few days. I just upgraded this system from 5.3 to 5.7 on Monday and the problem started some time after that (but not immediately because I know I used yum Monday evening after the upgrade)
I get the following error from yum, but it goes away if I --disablerepo=epel The funny thing is that the listed xml file I can easily wget from this system. Also having the issue with other 5.7 systems that were upgraded from 5.3 several weeks ago and had been working fine since. I did some googling and found some things to try like "yum clean all" and I even deleted the rpm database based on advice from one site, and then rebuilt it from scratch. But nothing.

By what means does it go out to the repos? Just via http? Is there something that may have been implemented on corporate firewalls that may affect this? Odd though that it would only affect EPEL Is there a timeout value somewhere that I have set too low? Because when I do a wget it takes some 5 to 10 seconds to connect. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
