Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-cisco-openh264'

The repo was added per this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264

It doesn't mention anything about GPG.

Disabling fedora-cisco-openh264 solves the problem.

Comment 1 Daniel Mach 2017-05-03 11:37:12 UTC
This seems to be caused by not having GPG key from F26 installed. You need to install a correct key prior doing that. To my understanding, it's correct behavior unless you want to use  --nogpgcheck option or disable the repo as you suggested.

Comment 2 Daniel 2017-05-26 14:29:46 UTC
Please reopen.

I do have the repository keys for Fedora 26 installed. It’s only the fedora-cisco-openh264 repository that fails. The specific key referenced in the .repo file is installed on the system.

Comment 3 Tobias Schönberg 2017-07-22 10:14:37 UTC
Using "sudo dnf update --nogpgcheck" does not help either with this issue. Whatever is happening with DNF, the error message needs to be more than just "Error" and "Failed".

Comment 4 robert 2018-04-27 05:36:10 UTC
This happens in Fedora 27 as well. This started happening after I installed all the codec options available in Gnome's Software GUI interface. Totem actually came up with the popup suggesting the missing codecs and that's where I got them from.

If anyone else comes across this bug on Google like I did, this is what I did to fix it. Go to your terminal and login as root or use sudo.
$ sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo

Now dnf update should work

i got this error while i was trying to install something, after some i found this page
https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?315298-dnf-Error-Failed-to-synchronize-cache-for-repo-updates

i ran

$ sudo dnf --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates update --refresh

massive amount of updates/upgrades happened

then:

$ sudo dnf update

it imported GPG key, then another, though smaller, amount of updates happened.

hope this helps someone with the same problem.
