Description of problem: Installing Rawhide from boot.iso dated 12-Aug-2009 05:00 yields this Error message: _____ Unable to read package metadata from repository. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your repository has been correctly generated. Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rawhide. Please verify its path and try again. _____ Trying again repeatedly produces the same Error message. Installation cannot proceed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide boot.iso dated 12-Aug-2009 05:00, both i386 and x86_64 versions. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD created using boot.iso. 2. Proceed through installation process: Accept English, entire drive, eth0 settings. Actual results: Get Error message Expected results: Successful install. Additional info: If I hit the Edit key, I see that the URL it is trying to use for the repository directory is: https://mirrors.fedorproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i386 and that "URL is a mirror list" is checked. I see that repomd.xml is on the mirror sites, for instance: http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/development/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml which has a date of 12-Aug-2009 03:14.
There's more message in 517171, so I'm forward duping this one. Plus it's already on the blocker list. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 517171 ***
