Update problems: cannot retrieve repository metadata

[ppyvabw]

I'm on Fedora 15. After

yum update

I get "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: games......"

I've looked at the solutions to similar problems online, but I'm a relative Linux noob, and they aren't working - not least because I don't entirely understand.

The output I get is below

[root@Ligo ~]# yum update -y

Thanks in advance

I just took a look at the repository pages you have posted. They don't exist.

openSUSE repo - This does not contain any F14. Did you copy these repos from your F14 install?

0ad repo - This repo does not contain anything for F15. Has information for F16 though.

You might need to change your repos accordingly for this to work!

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can someone point me in the right direction to do that please.

The openSUSE is easy! I am leading to believe your repo file has hardcoded information correspoding to Fedora 14. Change that to Fedora 15 as shown here. (I have the same information below).

[games]
name=Games (Fedora_15)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_15/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/Fedora_15/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

As for the 0ad repo, I do not know what programs you are looking for, what are it's dependencies, etc.

Sorry, I do not understand. Where will I find this file? I also do not know why 0ad is coming up. It's a game, but I have since uninstalled it.

Sorry! Can you post the output of the following command?

ls /etc/yum/repos.d

You should find the file I am talking about in the mentioned folder.

[ppyvabw]

I found that file under

/etc/yum.repos.d

I made the alterations you suggested and it now appears to be working.

Thanks very much.

glad to hear that! Would you please mark the thread as SOLVED? Cheers!
