From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Epiphany/1.2.4 Description of problem: If you look in the file returned from the URL http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2.uk, you will see: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/$ARCH/os/ http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/2/$ARCH/os/ Downloads using the first mirror are wrong on two accounts: 1) They use the wrong DNS name (should use www.mirrorservice.org in place of www.mirror.ac.uk) 2) Rewrite the URL to be '.../mirror/fedora.redhat.com/...', instead of '.../sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/...'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Amend the up2date configuration to point to the UK mirrors 2. Run up2date 3. Observe 404 error Actual Results: An error 404 is returned, causing the up2date application to exit. Expected Results: Update RPMs should have been downloaded from the UK mirror site Additional info: This bug has partly been reported as CLOSED, see bug 130653. This covers the DNS name used, but somehow seems to not have been reflected
Oops, item 2) is wrong. That path-change is only the case if you keep using the www.mirror.ac.uk hostname. If you change it to the www.mirrorservice.org as stated in 1), it should work.
The problem occurs in the following files: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc1.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc2.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-testing.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-testing-fc1.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-testing-fc2.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-1.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2.uk http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide.uk
Fixed.
