I get the same error for all the software i try to install through yum command. I also tried to update the system Through System->Administration->Update System .. When i tried to refresh for updates i got the following..

This link, http://rpmfusion.org/FAQ#head-33eabc...a49721cd27871a, works for me. I had been getting the same errors the last 2 days so I made the change and all is well for now. Used the command
Quote:
su -c "sed -i 's|^#baseurl|baseurl| ; s|^mirrorlist|#mirrorlist|' /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*free*repo"
