It turns out that sometimes it is difficult to get a Fedora/EPEL mirror which is in a consistent state and reliably working. The normal workaround for this is to use Mirrormanager's mirrorlist/metalink which lets librepo try multiple mirrors until it finds one that is not broken. However it's currently not possible to do that with rpmdeplint, since it always expects a specific URL for each repo. Perhaps instead of: --repo=<name>,<baseurl> it should also accept an option like: --repo=<name>,metalink=<url> --repo=<name>,mirrorlist=<url> Or maybe it would be cleaner to add a new separate option: --repo-metalink=<name>,<url> --repo-mirrorlist=<name>,<url>
