[SOLVED] Client cert incorrect rawhide-repo

[GoinEasy9]

Since the update Friday night, I'm getting the following errors:
[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ yum check-update
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/me...hide&arch=i386 error was

and as root

I have access to the other repo's, my DNS seems to check out. The fedora-rawhide.repo hasn't been modified. Is anyone else having a problem?

I commented out the mirrorlist line and uncommented the basurl line and it's working, though very slow, Maybe has to do with mirror it's pointing to, although I don't know why it didn't do a switch, going to install yum-plugin-fastestmirror when it's done and see if that makes a difference.

I've been experiencing the same problem as well,is the server down for a bit?

I installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror directly from the rawhide repo. It wouldn't install with just the baseurl uncommented, it did when I switched back to uncommenting the mirrorlist line. But I still get an error:
[root@Fedora14dw32 GoinEasy9]# yum info yum-plugin-fastestmirror

I guess there is a problem with the mirrors for fedora-rawhide.repo. Rpmfusion is not throwing out the same errors. F13 is updating properly.

I had that issue yesterday. Doing some googling came across old threads (that is, previous rawhides), where some people had solved it by changing https to http. This worked, but then, I realized that there was another file in repos.d, fedora-rawhide.rpmnew.

If you're not familiar with that, it's a replacement of a configuration file that might have been customized. In other words, it means that there have been changes in the configuration file, but as said file might have had some user customization, rather than just replacing the file, they give you an rpmnew file, that you can use to replace your current configuration file.

Changing my fedora-rawhide.rep with the rpmnew one, fixed the issue for me.

(I was lazy and didn't even run diff to see what the difference was).

So, I would suggest seeing if you have any rawhide rpmnew files in your /etc/yum.repos.d directory, and if so, replacing your rawhide repo file with it. (Back up the original though.)

If that doesn't work, the other suggestion, as mentioned, did work for me, temporarily replacing the https in the mirror urls with http.

Hi Smr54,
I tried both methods,I looked into yum.repos.d and there was a Fedora-Rawhide.rpmnew file there.
The original one was only modified as enabled,as I had previously upgraded from Fedora 13.

So I renamed the original one as Fedora-Rawhide.repo to Fedora-Rawhide.repo.old,and deleted the .rpmnew off the other one.I tried yum again,but ended up with the same problem.

So I went back to the Fedora-Rawhide.repo.rpmnew file I just modified,and took out the "s" that was on the url that was near the top of the file,and saved it.

I'm happy to report yum is updating nicely now,I like to thank you very much for the advice.

I saw that thread last night also, and tried changing the https to http, in fact, I tried most of the suggestions in that thread. I looked at the .repo files to see if I could find some differences but none were apparent.
OK, just booted up Rawhide and I don't have any .rpmnew files. As I remember, the fedora-rawhide.repo was marked last modified on 3/2, my yum.log only goes back to 3/7, which could be the date I installed.

OK, just saw the post from STEVE555 about the https to http success. Going to try again.

IT'S WORKING....I blame this on gremlins. Early on I was told in a forum thread that since I was now using Fedora, the introduction of gremlins was a distinct possibility. So, I blame this on them.

So, the rawhide mirrors changed from https to http. Now I guess we'll have to wait for a similar error and then change them back again. All the other fedora repos use https. Damn gremlins.
