When solving dependencies takes too long, the connection to FTP server timeouts and yum is unable to download packages because does not reconnect to the FTP server. I have only one repository in my local.repo file (internal FTP server on RHEL4 with vsftpd with standard configuration). A made basic install of Fedora 14 (minimal, only text mode, no GUI) . Then I tryed to grouplist and groupinstall "X Window System" and "GNOME" groups. The dependency has been solved, I agreed to install, but I have got many error messages saying "timeout, trying to use another mirror". But there was none so yum ended up with error message for every selected package. I have yum-3.2.28-5.fc14 (from actual updates). Seems like broken reconnection logic in yum.
What is your timeout set to? How long is yum taking to solve deps? When it downloads the first package, if that is the first time we see the timeout error ... I'm not sure we can recover easily there (does FTP have a specific "this isn't really an error, I was just being stupid" error?) However when we hit the next package, the connection should have been closed already ... so we'll get a new connection now. If this download fails too, then I would assume something else is going on.

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
