Updates Are Borking

[Blast Ang3L]

I Hi,

I seamlessly upgraded from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 using PreUpgrade (simply genius). There is one problem though. When I update through Yum Extender, I get the following error message:

17:39:32 : WARNING: Failure getting http://kdeforge.unl.edu/apt/kde-redh...ta/repomd.xml:
17:39:32 : WARNING: Trying other mirror.

I am also running KDE 4.7 desktop.

I will see if I can also find the answer through Google searches as well.

Any and all help is always appreciated!

The link in the .repo file is wrong, or so it appears. The first error you posted is looking for
http://kdeforge.unl.edu/apt/kde-redh...ta/repomd.xml: It doesn't seem to exist.

I get this far with my browser
http://kdeforge.unl.edu/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/16/i386/


Unless you need this repository you can disable it, temporarily with

PHP Code:

yum --disablerepo=kdeforge install super-kool-package 


(replace kdeforge with whatever it's called) Permanently by changing enabled=1 to enabled=0 in the .repo file. Alternatively, you can correct the error and carry on as usual.

Hmmmm... Why does the url contain "apt"?

Can't I clear all of the repos and update with the ones I need?

[Blast Ang3L]

BUMP!

The yum disable did not work. FAIL!

Update: I ended up having to remove the repo by typing in terminal: rm /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-kde47.repo

This repo was from Fedora People and they do not have the latest KDE repo for Fedora 16 which was causing the errors.

Now I am trying to figure out how to download the repo from KDE Packaging Project (Fedora edition) through terminal. I tried wget command yet got nowhere.

The disable option won't work if the name of the repository is not correct. My example was a guess on the name.

Switch to your yum repos folder

PHP Code:

cd /etc/yum/repos.d/ 


Then download with

PHP Code:

wget http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/kde.repo 


Try yum repolist. The repository should be listed.

Looks like you need to make sure that the rpmfusion repos are installed as well as the EPEL repositories.

That was the ticket! Thank you so much, Glenn!
