I get error when doing

Code:

yum update

[root@localhost tmp]# yum update

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: wellassa-linux. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost tmp]#

I then tried to do a cleanup

Code:

yum clean all

Code:

yum clean metadata

Code:

yum clean dbcache

then try

Code:

yum update

here is the error again

How do I fix the repo for "wellassa"? Is that the problem?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can make my brain hurt less by pointing me in the correct direction.

searching the web i found http://download.wellassa.org/fedora/12/SRPMS/repodata/ and see that it has "repomd.xml"

I see the difference is i386 vs SRPMS but looking at my /etc/yum.repos.d/wellassa-linux.repo it shows the SRPMS of the enabled baseurl.

I am running F12. as seen by uname -a
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri May 28 04:47:04 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Here is my repo file for wellassa.

That repo appears to be a private/specialized repo that provides only 64-bit (x86_64) RPM packages - no 32-bit (x86/i386/i586/i686). NOTE that you have a 32-bit Fedora OS, so the 64-bit RPMs are useless to you (i.e.: therefore, you should disable this repo). Please contact the repo owner with questions about 32-bit RPMs, and/or re-build 32-bit RPMs yourself from the SRPMs provided by that repo.

P.S. I have never heard of this repo. Beware of software from unknown 3rd-party repos.
