look at the set of pkgs you just updated was 'nss' in there?
This machine was installed yesterday with all current updates, and has nss-3.12.6-1.2.fc12.i686 installed. There's been a lot of NSS breakage recently, but I don't think this failure is NSS's fault -- I'm assuming that the 'Remote Certificate has expired' line is telling the truth. This bug is filed for the fact that I had to set $URLGRABBER_DEBUG in order to see that line.
I strongly suspect there is something different in NSS, as I can happily download rawhide metalink/etc. here ... but I've just heard from someone else running rawhide that they have the same problem.
My clock was set to 1917. It's a slightly crappy error for NSS to give, but that's not the point -- the point in _this_ bug is that yum wasn't showing me anything useful at all.
Ahh, fiar enough. I wonder what the other guys problem was then. And yeh, I changed the summary for the BZ to reflect the UI problem. And in this case it shouldn't be too hard to fix as urlgrabber has the error.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I believe the lack of appropriate error reporting is still present in current versions; reopening.
It still happens todayand should be catched. See our current nss problem.
