Yum update/Rpmfusion problems ( Solved)

**crashandburn0420** · 09-01-2011

Ive got two problems could be related, could be unrelated i'm not too sure lol. First problem is when i run yum update it updates but i get these errors at the top

Code:

[steven@linux ~]$ su
Password: 
[root@linux steven]# yum update

updates/metalink

Second problem is adding the rpm fusion repo.

Code:

[steven@linux ~]$ su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

/var/tmp/yum-root-2wd_16/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do

from what that says i have it installed but it doesn't update the database during yum updates.

re: 1st problem, are you not using mirrors in your Fedora repo setup? Post the output of this command:

Code:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

The lines to pay attention to are the enabled= line (says if that particular repo is enabled or not) and the mirrorlist= or baseurl= lines (which tell yum where the repos can be found).

re: 2nd problem, your yum command worked fine on my Fedora box. Maybe try downloading them and installing them with RPM, e.g.:

Code:

wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

You seem to have no real problems here at all. What appears to have happened in the first "problem" is that yum tried for 2 mirrors unsuccessfully, but then had success on the 3rd mirror of livna that was used.

Code:

 cat /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo

... on my machine indicates that the mirrorlist is located remotely. This is therefore Livna's minor issue (not a usability concern).

Your second given command here is redundant. Yes, you have it installed. The database gets updated _only_ when there are changes to it (I think). I'm left to believe that you update often and sometimes those databases have not been changed since your last update.

To summarize: You have nothing to worry about or fix at all. The second command is unnecessary. Have a nice day!

I removed rpmfusion and reinstall the rpm and now when i run an update i get this

I can access all of those rpmfusion repo URLS...odd.

As a test, can you load this URL in a browser, from your Fedora box?

http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorl...15&arch=x86_64

**crashandburn0420** · 09-02-2011

nope 404 not found

**crashandburn0420** · 09-02-2011

is there anyway to reset all the data from all of the repos?

***atreyu*** · 09-02-2011

reinstalling the repo RPMS should have done it. you can clean out your cache:
[code]yum clean all/code]
but I doubt that would fix your problem.

It sounds more like you are having DNS issues - are you sure your Fedora box getting out to the internet? Can you resolve the ip address of the server in the repo URL? e.g.:

Code:

host mirrors.rpmfusion.org

Note: host command is part of the bind-utils package.

Check your DNS settings:

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Make sure your default route is set:

Code:

route -n

**crashandburn0420** · 09-03-2011

[root@linux ~]# host mirrors.rpmfusion.org
