$ sudo yum -y install parted Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: InstallMedia. Please verify its path and try again
I edited: sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/packagekit-media.repo and set enabled-0
It worked fine for one update session.
Next update, problem comes back again. Why is it being clobbered with a new packagekit-media.repo ? Is there a conf file I can edit to permanently disable this repo?

I did set in it enabled=0 but after an update or two, it is autoamtically replaced with a version that has no enabled=0

There something weird going on there. rpm -q yum
yum clean all
then try removing packagekit-media.repo
su rm packagekit-media.repo see if it gets recreated.

I've got a PackageKit fix in the works. I'll write some code to fix this tomorrow.

Yes it does get regenerated. It was being regenerated by /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf which I edited and disabled. [main] enabled=0
Maybe that's not the optimal answer, but it works for now until fedora fixes the problem.

yum: Ensure we disable the MediaRepo when the PackageKit backend has finished
YUM is unable to ignore repos that do not exist, even media repos and this stops yum working if the media is not present.
PackageKit is a bit more clever and can ignore (with a warning) sources that do not exist or are not contactable but we still need to preserve compatibility for people who use both the PackageKit tools and the yum CLI.
Ensure we set the enabled= line in the repo file so that any tool that cannot skip repos is able to continue working.

Could anyone affected by this issue please rebuild the PackageKit SRPM here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/SRPMS/ and install it on their computer, then reboot.
If this fixes the issue or remains broken it would be very interesting to me. I've also written up some note here: http://people.redhat.com/rhughes/media-repo.txt -- if it works, i'll submit an update to F13 on Monday.
Thanks.
Richard.
