Does it work if you quote it?  spaces can be used for separating args, so alone
there really isn't a way for them to work

> Does it work if you quote it? 
no

Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2006-10-31 15:46:18 UTC

The issue is iirc not really caused by spaces in baseurl, but by media:/// entry
in DVD repodata.

Comment 4 Aleksandar Milivojevic 2006-11-29 16:34:11 UTC

I've run into the same problem with RHEL5 beta 2.  It's the media:/// stuff in
DVD repodata:

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Downloading header for kernel-xen to pack into transaction set.
media://1163271601.930360%231/kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2747.el5.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 4]
IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>
Trying other mirror.
Error: failed to retrieve kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2747.el5.x86_64.rpm from
rhel5b2-media-client
error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>

I don't remember having this problem with CentOS4 (RHEL4 clone) and yum that
came with it (ver. 2.4.x).  Maybe you could borrow some code back ;-)

Workaround is to copy installation media onto disk (if there's enough space) and
rebuild repodata stuff (using createrepo command), than point yum to on-disk
copy.  Tested on RHEL5 beta 2, works.  Downside is that it will waste couple of
gigs of disk space.  Upside is that you don't need to dig for that installation
media anymore ;-)
