I'm having great problem after upgrading F9 to F10 (using an install dvd). I
get huge numbers of updates downloaded, but then it fails. The problem
appears to be related to my updates repo. I've tried it with both baseurl and
mirrors, without success. Errors I've seen include
Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-
f10&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>

gimp-0.996-3.fc10.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or

My updates repo says:

Can someone point me to the problem and solution? Thanks

Thanks for trying to help. I can reach the Internet on other sites.
I can
use konqueror to reach a mirror site and download packages manually.
This box has been upgraded rather than a clean install. I suspect that
$releasever is not being correctly passed, but I don't know how to test that
theory, nor how to correct it if I'm right.
I don't think wget is actually using $releasever.
Can you wget something else? :-)

It was a long hard slog, but yumex managed to get most of the packages
installed. The few that were left failed because I couldn't get the key
for rpmfusion non-free updates. I even tried running the installer, but
it told me that it had failed to install the key. In the end I installed
the packages with --nogpgcheck - obviously not a good solution.

I've managed to pull updates from the direct address of one of the mirrors,
so this isn't urgent. What's worse is that I still can't get to the normal
fedora repo. Can you give me an equivalent version for that?
If I'm right, though, and it's $releasever that isn't being passed, it will
still fail. There must be some way to test what it believes $releasever
to be? How do you print the contents of a variable like that?
No longer necessary - after the updates were installed I wanted to check
something which required a reboot. After the reboot the fedora repos all
work! Something obviously is fixed. Oh yes, and by the way, my keyboard is
now fixed as well - all the navigation keys now work.
In fact the only thing left not working is the gpg-key for
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.

Please check to see if the package, fedora-release, created *.rpmnew
files in /etc/yum.repos.d
If so, move them over top of the existing ones:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# mv fedora.repo.rpmnew fedora.repo
# mv fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew fedora-updates.repo
...
You will recall that during the F9 phase, the Fedora gpg keys were in
question, and so the repos were rebuilt with a .newkey extension. I
believe that is your problem.
The fedora.repo file is generally usable from version to version, with
this one exception, created by the .newkey business.
To verify the issue before making any changes, look for the string 'new'
in any of the /etc/repos.d/* files. If there, they should NOT be for
F10 and forward.
Good Luck!

To reach that mirror you have to assure that:
1. You can resolve hostnames
Look in /etc/resolv.conf for a valid nameserver;
2. You should verify you can open a http connection
Try to use netcat: nc -v 209.132.176.120 80, if you get
"Connection to 209.85.171.100 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!" so you are
able to connect to the internet.
That error message says it cannot resolve host
download.fedoraproject.org. Try to resolve for it, using
209.132.176.120 instead. Otherwise add "nameserver 208.67.222.222" line
at the beginning of /etc/resolv.conf file.
Hope this will help.

Anne,
can you download the yum rpm directly and save on your hard disk???
then by rpm command you should be able to install it...
Eventually I got a url for a mirror, found the new yum, downloaded and
installed it. I still have the same problem. By now I'm almost convinced
that $releasever either isn't set, or is passing a wrong version. Googling
seems to add weight to this idea.
How do I find the current value of $releasever? If it's wrong, is the correct
command
SET $releasever = 10
?

download the rpm and do yum localinstall or rpm -Uvh
Off-list I was told to try http://mirrors.reflected.net/fedora/linux/ -
The server mirrors.reflected.net refused to allow this computer to make a
connection
This has to be something in my configuration. Any idea what/where?

otherwise try "yum clean all" and then try to update
