F18 Development

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like it is. This is the place to discuss and assist in the community development of F18, post Alpha.

WARNING: Any pre-release versions, Beta included, are for experienced testers only. Back up all existing data and read all threads in the version Development Forum before attempting an install. Errors can and will likely occur which may include data destruction or inability to boot other partitions on any and possibly all attached hard drives.

While FedoraProject needs and appreciates testers, you must remember to report issues directly to Bugzilla, after checking for pre-existing bugs.

Fedora 18 doesn't want to install anyhting with yum or PackageKit

First off the title says it all. I checked the repos and all my repo's are there. I have network connection. (So it says.) And I get an error message like this when I try to install the package gnome-tweak-tool

http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rpmsphere: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ata/repomd.xml

Does anybody else have this issue? Has this been filed in the Red Hat Bugzilla? Does it have something to do with the fact that my machine is a BIOS machine and not EFI? The upgrade removed the GNOME-Tweak-Tool and the update manager and software manager merged into one program called software. Updates also don't want to install. And yes I know this is BETA! I will be doing another upgrade when stable comes out. But I try "sudo yum install gnome-tweak-tool" it print's the error above.

Found out that it was a glitch in the package manager, so does anyone have a work-around? Knowing this I won't be able to upgrade to stable.

I wonder if you posted in an incorrect forum by mistake. You have opensuse repos listed. Their packages are usually different enough from RH/Fedora so that they won't work.

I don't think anyone would file a redhat bugzilla about an issue with SuSE packages not being installed, or if they did, I suspect such a bug would be ignored or closed.

To update, you would have to have the fedora repos. If that is what you wish, then post again and I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction.

Re: Fedora 18 doesn't want to install anyhting with yum or PackageKit

There isn't a Fedora 18 repo yet. All he has up are Fedora 16 and Fedora 17.

Try this to get your system update:

Code:
yum --disablerepo=home_zhonghuaren update

And no, you wouldn't file this with the Redhat bugzilla since it's a third party repo that is your problem. You need to resolve that with whoever maintains the third party repo.

Edit:
This is a repo for Fedora packages, not opensuse packages. The repo is hosted on the opensuse servers, but it's a Fedora repo.

Another edit:

To actually upgrade to Fedora 18, you will probably need to edit the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d and disable the repo there.

Ah, I see the Fedora part now--the forum software truncated it, all I saw was the SuSE part.

Re: Fedora 18 doesn't want to install anyhting with yum or PackageKit

as dbelton says, if you have a third party repo configured that is not currently working, you'll have to disable it temporarily or permanently in order to install things from the official repos. yum assumes you have some kind of good reason for using any repos you have configured, so it won't just 'fall back' if one of them isn't working.
