Hi,
I've been away from my pc for the last couple of days and have come back
to find a problem.
When I try to do an update from yum, I'm getting the following error
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: rawhide. Please verify
its path and try again
Looking at the fedora-rawhide.repo file, nothing looks untoward. If I
change from using the mirrors to the baseurl, the error goes, but then
it also reports that there are no updates available.
Have I missed another change? The system was happily doing auto updates
until (I think) Thursday.

$ wget -O - \

works for me repeatedly.

You can use:
yum repolist -v rawhide
...to see when the last time you got data was, if it's over a couple of
days for rawhide something bad is probably happening.

This is not showing anything of any value up as it's complaining about
the metalink. Oddly, Matt's solution of
wget -O - \
'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i686'
does work, but it looks like the problem is a crypto one...

It's also a yum bug that it doesn't give you a sane error message, and
you have to run it with URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 just to see what happened:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576267
Try (as root) 'setup-nsssysinit.sh off' to see if it fixes the
underlying certificate problem. The system-wide NSS database is an
extremely useful plan, but the implementation is still fairly broken.

I'm seeing exactly the same error. I reinstalled the fedora-release
file to ensure I had the latest repo configs and still no difference.
If I disabled the mirrorlist and enabled to baseurl option it works
fine.

The fix for me was to manually download and update to
ca-certificates-2010-4.fc4 first. I assume the required Equifax CA
certificate was added in this version.
