Hello there,

I am having a problem where yum says that there is not a correct baseurl
for yum.  However I have turned the repo off to see if updates would work
correctly with no luck.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Also what is the baseurl for this too be? Here is the log of yum updates:

root@localhost:/etc/yum.repos.d
[root@localhhost yum.repos.d]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories

legacy-updates [1/8] kde-redhat-all [2/8] flash [3/8] kde-redhat [4/8] core [5/8] jpackage-generic [6/8]

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: jpackage-generic
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: jpackage-generic
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]#

As Kam has said, there is a problem with the Jpackage repo. the best thing to

do, is on the CLI as root, edit /etc/yum.repos.d, changing the repo for
Jpackage to enabled=0, then run yum again.

I don't have this problem as I use Apt, and Apt if it has a problem with a
repo, just bypasses it. Yum seems to get confused if it can't find a repo,
and decides to go out to lunch, leaving you waiting forever.
I did this I enabled it to 0.
