software update/repository issue

[grfalk]

I am receiving a message that the software repository is unverified/unreliable. I assumed this was related to a specific update, and deselected all updates and then starting selecting individual updates to identify the cause of the problem. No luck - even when I only had the kernel selected I still received the message. Is there a known cause for this? How do I solve this issue? If memory serves (it doesn't always serve) I believe I have the fastest mirror software installed, is this the issue?

Most likely is the mirror. You could try editing the repo configuration file to force it to user the primary download site instead of a mirror. Keep in mind, though that it can easily become saturated, and this the speed be too low.

I suggest you edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo, comment the mirrorlist (place a hash at the beginning of the line, and remove the one for the baseurl line. Note that it is a temporary measure.

It says the repository is unverified and not the software.

Did you install any additional repositories?

The repositories are usually checked with a PGP key file. Something wrong with your key files maybe?

It normally looks like this:

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

You might get rid of the message if you disable the gpgcheck, but this would only disable the message and not the root of the problem!
