Hi,
Recently "yum check-update" and "yum update" has started producing the
error "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ...". Googling suggests
that other occurrences have been caused by network connectivity errors
or miss configured yum repository locations. I am convinced that in my
case it is yum 2.2's inability to successfully download files through a
HTTP proxy that is the problem. To work around the problem I
reinstalled yum 2.1 and upgrade using "yum --exclude=yum update".
Has anybody else had the same experience?
Can anybody suggest how to debug the code? Running "yum -d 9 ..."
doesn't add anything useful.
I have 2 FC3 installations which I update manually using "yum update"
regularly. Both have to use a HTTP proxy (different ones) to access
the Internet and both have the same problem.
HTTP proxy setting:
[root@bridge ~]# env | grep HTTP
HTTP_PROXY=http://rockover:8080/
Here is yum 2.1 working:
[root@bridge ~]# rpm -q yum
yum-2.1.12-0.fc3
[root@bridge ~]# yum update

Thanks for your attention,

Check /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo for a typo or invalid url.
You can also add an alternate/fallback repo to this file so that yum
will not abort when the primary repo is not available.
Next time please provide the contents of /etc/yum.conf and all of the
.repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/
Here's /etc/yum.conf:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
And /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files where enabled=1.
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
