But can you tell me why yum explicitly wants to download from an ftp site while it's set up as an > http repository. That's _your_ theory, and I cannot explain it nor reproduce it. ;) The problem looked interesting enough to run some "grep"s on Yum's core source code, but in several places it searches for a prefix "ftp://" or "ftp:" and doesn't seem to be dumb enough to drop a "http://" prefix accidentally. It's also somewhat strange that it would be able to download the repo metadata (after a "yum clean metadata") from the *same* http URL but fail only when downloading packages. > Maybe I'll should try to change the dns to setup the same repo as http://repo.lineek.nl/ and try again. > More testing might lead to something. :) You could also: - remove all optional Yum plugins (I see you've installed several) - modify the baseurl for [lingeek] as a check that it's really lingeek.repo that is being used - insert some debug messages into Yum a bit (afterall, it's Python source code you're running) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
