Hi,
I'm using Fedora18 x86_64. (Yes, it's old.) Within the last few
days I found that I cannot install or list anything from the fedora-18
repo via yum. I get the typical errors everybody complains about "no
repomd" and "metalink.xml does not exist". Common workarounds from
google searches haven't worked.
I opened the link spit out by yum
"http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-18&arch=x86_64";
in a browser. It downloaded a metalink file (no .xml suffix). The 3rd
(or so) line of the file has the following dubious message.
# repo = fedora-18 arch = x86_64 error: invalid repo or arch
Following this line is a HUGE listing of available repos and
architectures. There is nothing shown for fedora-18 arch i386 or
x86_64. In fact, even fedora-source-18 repo is missing. I don't think
this is a yum problem on my system.
Is there something else I can try (yum-wise)? If I need to report it
then where? I'm quite certain that this is the wrong list.
Thanks.
Shane
