yum problem

[lverwolf]

I am currently installing Fedora Core 9 Server and am running into an issue with my updates. When I run

#yum update

I get the following error.

could not retrieve mirror list http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=f
edora-9&arch=i386 error was
[errno4]IOerror:<urlopen errror (-3,'temeary failur in name resolution')>
Error: cannot retrieve repository metadata (respond.xml) for repository:fedora.
please verify its path and try again

I have used Linux on various jobs but have never tried to administer it, so feel free to speak to me as a noob. Thanks.

This looks like a network connection issue with the yum server mirrors. One thing you can try is to clean out all the data you have stored about the mirrors and then when you try to update again, it will retrieve a fresh copy.


# yum clean all
# yum update

Postcat /etc/resolv.conf

#cat /etc/resolv.conf
search verwolf.net
nameserver 66.223.40.121
nameserver 209.126.159.118

Seems OK. yum repolist might be helpfull

[lverwolf]

#yum repolist
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
fedora Fedora 9 - i386 enabled
updates Fedora 9 - i386 - updates enabled

All seems fine. Try againyum update yum*
yum update and post here full output.

Same result with

#yum update yum*

Trywget ftp.lug.ro:/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-9-2.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh --allfiles fedora-release-9-2.noarch.rpm

im wondering if they have stopped updates from going through ro peoples systems at the moment till the changes in RPM signing is final

I doubt that. I just installed powertop and it went fine on both F8 and F9

i think it would just affect updates of the Programs one had installed

You might be right. I haven't seen anything written on the subject so far, but it;s strangely quiet on the mailing list
