The mirrorlist entry in my Fedora-11 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo reads: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f$releasever&arch=$basearch As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ? If I try "sudo yum update" I get: ----------------------------------- [tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo yum update Loaded plugins: aliases, allowdowngrade, auto-update-debuginfo, basearchonly, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, filter- : data, keys, list-data, merge-conf, post-transaction-actions, presto, priorities, protect-packages, : protectbase, refresh-packagekit, refresh-updatesd, remove- with-leaves, rpm-warm-cache, security, show-leaves, : tsflags, upgrade-helper, verify, versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: updates.
