Description of problem: yum.conf variable expansion problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a local repo with a path component where the variable is not the entire name of the directory, e.g. baseurl=ftp://reposerver/pub/f$releasever/F-7-i386-DVD.iso (as opposed to ...pub/7/F.... 2. Edit the file fedora-core.repo to use the said repo. 3. Try to use yum. Actual results: [root@taltos ~]# yum list emacs* Loading "installonlyn" plugin Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core [root@taltos ~]# Expected results: [root@taltos ~]# yum list emacs* Loading "installonlyn" plugin primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 619 kB 00:00 core : ################################################## 1628/1628 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 186 B 00:00 Available Packages emacs.i386 22.0.990-2.fc7 core emacs-common.i386 22.0.990-2.fc7 core [root@taltos ~] Additional info: Expanding the variable manually works, e.g.: baseurl=ftp://reposerver/pub/f7/F-7-i386-DVD.iso
could you send the output of: rpm -q fedora-release thanks!
[root@taltos ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 6.93 (Rawhide) Sorry, I didn't realize I had installed from the wrong ISO until just now (it should be f7). I will reinstall in the morning & see if the problem is still there.
I think you'll find this isn't a bug. B/c you had 6.93 $releasever doesn't become 7, it only becomes 6.93 hence, the problem.
