Description mejiko 2013-12-12 08:38:53 UTC 
My system is installed generic-release package. (I replaced that fedora-release, fedora-release-notes and fedora-logos to generic-release, generic-release-notes and generic-logos after fresh install for Fedora 19. because fedora-logos license is non-free trademark/copyright license, I think.)

Version info:

yum version is: 3.4.3-120 (yum-3.4.3-120.fc19.noarch)
generic-release version is: 19-2 (generic-release-19-2.noarch)


I run "sudo yum clean all". and I run "sudo yum update". 
displayed yum error message.

"Could not parse metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19-2&arch=i386&country=JP error was 
No repomd file"

Why is "repo=fedora-19-2" ? That is incorrent variable.
Corrent variable is "repo=fedora-19".


I try:

curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19-2&arch=i386&country=JP' 

Result: Mirror URI is not displayed. 

and I try:

curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=i386&country=JP' 

Result: Mirror URI is displayed.


Using yum old version (before updating yum), No problem.
 

Workaround:

Edit /etc/yum.conf, Adding this text:

"distroverpkg=generic-release"
 

and run "sudo yum clean all" and "sudo yum update". 
This is OK.


Thanks.

Not sure it's a problem in yum, might be a distribution bug. Requesting some additional information from James, he might know if this is yum or distribution bug ...

 This is related to bug#1002977.

 Basically generic-release does the provides "wrong" for very new yum, and should be fixed.
