They've blocked your system from receiving updates except from them. They probably want to reduce bandwidth through their servers, but they aren't running a full repository. The keys you use to validate packages aren't on your system but are pointing to a link on their system. If you want to work around this without involving them, you need to install the Fedora keys on your system. Go to the site I suggested before and download the package fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm. Install it as rpm -ivh fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm Then try the update again. You should now be able to get repo data and thus packages from other repos than iisc. They might have the fedora mirror site blacklisted, so you can't reach it to resolve any other mirrors than theirs also. If that is the case, installing the fedora keys won't work. And if you just want to install the packages and get on with your compile, install them using rpm -ivh. They should still be in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages. You can do the same for any other packages you are missing, download them, and install them with rpm -ivh. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
