From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031110 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: The URLs for the core and updates repositories have been changed to <http://download.fedora.com/pub/fedora/linux/...> while the baseurls in the included yum.conf still point to <baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever>, which only gives a 404 error at the moment. This leads to pretty much confusion on mailing lists or on #fedora at irc.freenode.net, as an "official" yum.conf cannot be found anywhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.4-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install yum-2.0.4-2 2. Run yum check-update (or yum install component) with the included yum.conf 3. Actual Results: [root@logout etc]# yum check-update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Expected Results: yum should have checked for updates Additional info:
This is crucial for Fedora's reputation. It is also present in rhn-applet. The quickest and most transparent way of fixing it (I repeat this is CRUCIAL) is to fix the website in order to make it match what is in yum.conf: a symlink in the right place and problem solved.
This is a DUPLICATE of some other bug, I believe, which should be RESOLVED FIXED. -M
OK, resolved.
