Can you show us the content of your "/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo" file?
|
Were the Fedora mirrors moved as a result of the Debian key fiasco? That may be the root cause.
When did you last use yum on this system? |
this is the output :

This is what mine looks like. Try replacing yours with this (rename existing, create new, yada yada...).
Code:
[fedora] |
Can you get anything on the net?
What happens if you put "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386" into your browser? You should get a mirror list (at least it works for me). |
As an experiment, for [fedora], try commenting out the mirrorlist line and uncomment the baseurl line. Only try it for this one in the first instance (since the others are enabled anyway).
