Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: gstreamer-deps

I am having problems getting yum to work at all.

When I try and run yum I get the following error message:

yum makecache
Setting up repositories
core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: gstreamer-deps

I have searched my system to try and find the .repo file telling yum to look at this blasted repository and I just can't find it at all. It certainly isn't located in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Can anyone help me please?

Can anybody help please?

Split your unrelated posts out of the two year dead thread.
Best of luck......

Try disabling the gstreamer-deps repo e.g.

Code:

#yum --disablerepo=gstreamer-deps makecache

If the repo is not located in /etc/yum.repos.d, then check /etc/yum.conf.

Thankyou Tinkster for moving my posts.

And thank you redazz. I found the gstreamer repos in /etc/yum.conf. I removed both the gestreamer-deps and gstreamer repositories and now yum works fine again.
