You may be right about NM being involved, but I'm tired of fooling with the problem as it is now solved. If I have any more "network" problems, I'll simply disable NM and go back to hand-editing ifcfg-eth0 as I've been doing for years. Again, thanks for the links.

The error message was so similar (just the path name changed) that I

Here is more complete data on my problem:
Verifying I have the right rpmfusion packages:

rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8-6.noarch
rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch

I notice the "Trying other mirror." That seems strange as its now operating
on the baseurl, not the mirrorlist. Here's the first lines of
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo:
[rpmfusion-free]
name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Free
baseurl=http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora
Nota bene: I've disabled all the other rpmfusion repos ("enable=0")
except rpmfusion-free so as to keep things simple.
One more piece of data which I just discovered.
If I do a "yum clean all" first I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum clean all

I notice similar [Errno 4] messages from the livna and fedora repos, but they
somehow recover!
Why not the rpmfusion repo?
For completeness I now will uncomment "mirrorlist" and comment "baseurl" in
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo and run the same commands:

Hmm. This time livna failed, retried and succeeded, fedora had no
problem at all, and rpmfusion failed and did not recover.
I'm completely stumped.

The FAQ contains a clear solution which worked immediately for me. The FAQ entry also contains a pointer to _this bug_: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459756 which has more than 70 comments, many of which are complaining about why this bug has so far not been fixed. For many, this bug is rendering F10 useless. Indeed Chris Terpak (comment 71 in the bug report) says it very well: I pulled my hair out trying to find this. IMHO, this bug is not a 'medium' priority - it makes F10 useless. I disagree that users should have to go and try and find downstream software that uses glibc when it is glibc that changed (and I read every entry in this thread). F6,7,8,9 were all fine on the exact same hardware. This should be critical priority not medium. Forcing a user to install BIND or DNSMASQ as a work around is utter nonsense. I couldn't agree more.

The error message was so similar (just the path name changed) that I
didn't think it necessary. Again, for those who haven't read the full

Hi,
I am not expert in this but similar to my problem I suspect it must be
the network settings problem. This is what exactly happened when I
tried to update after fresh fedora 10 and later found out that my
subnetmask is reset to 192.168.1.1. (especially if you used
system-config-network tools).
Anyway check your /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 (or
other cards) to see something is wrong there.
Probably it has nothing to do with yum or repos
Hope this helps

Yum cannot connect to the RPM Fusion servers if you get above
message. That could be a problem with your local network or a problem
with the !MirrorManager servers from RPM Fusion. If it's the latter
use this comment to temporary work around the problem:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^#baseurl|baseurl| ; s|^mirrorlist|#mirrorlist|'
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"

To undo the change later use this command:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^baseurl|#baseurl| ; s|^#mirrorlist|mirrorlist|'
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
}}}
Am I missing something here?
Doesn't this `sed' script do precisely what Kam Lao suggested---namely
to comment out the mirrorlist URL and uncomment the baseurl?
Yes -- it was just meant as a "this is the easier way to do that" and
"feel free to point to this FAQ entry if similar problems show up in the
future". Sorry, should have mentioned that.
If yes,
then (as I wrote to Kam) I did that already (by hand) before I wrote
to the list; didn't help.
Then you should post the error message that you get now after doing that
change (which you afaics didn't do yet; but maybe I missed it) --

Doesn't this `sed' script do precisely what Kam Lao suggested---namely
to comment out the mirrorlist URL and uncomment the baseurl? If yes,
then (as I wrote to Kam) I did that already (by hand) before I wrote

I can't imagine this being a network problem on my machine, router, or
provider as I can get to the darn repomd.xml file (and look inside
it!) via Firefox.
Other suggestions?

I did that before I wrote to the list. Didn't help.

These repos were installed using the command suggested by Kevin Kempter:
rpm -ivh

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch
I can get to the metadata file "repomd.xml" just fine by plugging the
URL from the rpmfusion repo into Firefox, but try as I might, yum
refuses to go there or work at all unless I disable the rpmfusion
repos.
Can anyone help me (other some others) fix this?
Thanks
Try using the main rpmfusion server. Edit the rpmfusion repo files in
/etc/yum.repos.d directory, enable the baserul (i.e. remove the "#"
character), and disable the mirrorlist (i.e place a "#" at beginning
of line).
See also:
http://rpmfusion.org/FAQ
Quoting:
=== Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
rpmfusion-foo. Please verify its path and try again ===
Yum cannot connect to the RPM Fusion servers if you get above message. That
could be a problem with your local network or a problem with the !MirrorManager
servers from RPM Fusion. If it's the latter use this comment to temporary work
around the problem:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^#baseurl|baseurl| ; s|^mirrorlist|#mirrorlist|'
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
}}}
To undo the change later use this command:
{{{
su -c "sed -i 's|^baseurl|#baseurl| ; s|^#mirrorlist|mirrorlist|'
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
}}}
