The error message was so similar (just the path name changed) that I didn't think it necessary. Again, for those who haven't read the full thread, ipv6 is entirely shut off on this system so its not that. Here is more complete data on my problem: Verifying I have the right rpmfusion packages: [root@neuron ~]# rpm -qa | fgrep rpmf rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8-6.noarch rpmfusion-free-release-8-6.noarch Demonstration of problem when "mirrorlist" line is upcommented and "baseurl" line is commented in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo: [root@neuron ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-10&arch=i386 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again If I now comment the "mirrorlist" line and uncomment the "baseurl" line in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo I get: [root@neuron ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again I notice the "Trying other mirror." That seems strange as its now operating on the baseurl, not the mirrorlist. Here's the first lines of /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo: [rpmfusion-free] name=RPM Fusion for Fedora $releasever - Free baseurl=http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ #mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora Nota bene: I've disabled all the other rpmfusion repos ("enable=0") except rpmfusion-free so as to keep things simple. One more piece of data which I just discovered. If I do a "yum clean all" first I get: [root@neuron ~]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Cleaning up Everything [root@neuron ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/10/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. livna livna/pr http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. fedora fedora/p http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again [root@neuron ~]# I notice similar [Errno 4] messages from the livna and fedora repos, but they somehow recover! Why not the rpmfusion repo? For completeness I now will uncomment "mirrorlist" and comment "baseurl" in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo and run the same commands: [root@neuron ~]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Cleaning up Everything [root@neuron ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/10/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Trying other mirror. livna livna/pr fedora fedora/p Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-10&arch=i386 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again Hmm. This time livna failed, retried and succeeded, fedora had no problem at all, and rpmfusion failed and did not recover. I'm completely stumped.
