[root@EMARALD isnht]# yum info vlc
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again


Thanks in Advance

You must be connected to the internet for this to work, were you connected at the time?

[scathefire]

If you are connected, then try this. It usually does it for me:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm –rebuilddb
yum clean all

Have you already enabled the Fedora repos?
Post the output of

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

[scathefire]

you could always try running yum with the --skip-broken option and see what happens.

[root@EMARALD yum.repos.d]# ls
fedora-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
fedora.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
fedora-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo
livna.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
pbone.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo

cannot retrieve repository metadata problem - FedoraForum.org

That original link you posted for the repo returned a 404, so its broken. You may have to tweak your repos to get it to work.

Dear scathefire,

Thats True but you tried the below link

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml:

But I never mentioned the above line anywhere the line in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo is like this

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/os/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=x86_64
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

[fedora-debuginfo]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Debug
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386
enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

[fedora-source]
name=Fedora $releasever - Source
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386
enabled=0
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch


So please find my error and help me out
awaiting for response.

[scathefire]

so if you comment out the baseurl and roll with the mirrorlist what happens?
