**********

There's the full output and error.

Are there any more mirrors?.

go to the url specified in mirrorlist= in your .repo file for this repository
and I'll bet it has only that one.

It certainly seems to be. I can change the list to the global one, but shouldn't
the UK have more than one mirror, really?

it's not really a yum bug, though. I'll refile it against 'distribution'

Indeed, I (wrongly) assumed that there would be more than one mirror and yum was
simply failing to iterate beyond the first.

The global list works fine.
