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')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates

Can someone point me to the problem and solution? Thanks

Then, after,
yum update

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.
Cheers, Giuseppe

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? :-)

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?

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
?

are you sure you are connected to the internet? try "ping google.com" otherwise try "yum clean all" and then try to update

Yes - I get replies.

I did that at the beginning :-(

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!

Are the downloaded updates still on your system?
/var/cache/yum/updates/packages
Sometimes it helps to use yumex or kyum to do the upgrades in smaller blocks than everything. Another variation on updates repo.

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.
