Can not retrieve metalink for repository fedora/20/i386

[David Mehler]

Hello,

I've been having update problems since yesterday on my f20 system. I
keep getting the above message can not retrieve metalink repository
fedora/20/i386.

At first I thought the repos were down, but a host and ping shows they're up.

I googled and saw similar issues, but without a fix, I'm hoping
someone can help me get my yum working again. If I change
skip_if_unavailable in fedora/20/i386 to true I then get the same
error with fedora/20/update repo, if I set that one to
skip_if_unavailable to true the process works, but I don't get any
updates. Here's my nonworking repo setup:

#yum update


 One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
 and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
 safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

     1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

     2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
        upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
        distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
        packages for the previous distribution release still work).

     3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
        just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
        --enablerepo for temporary usage:

            yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>

     4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
        Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
        so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
        slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
        compromise:

            yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

its path and try again
