Error: Bad repository file ///etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo. Skipping


i get the following error when i try adding dag to my yum.repos.d directory

Error: Bad repository file ///etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo. Skipping

this is the file when i open it in oowriter

[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch
/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

does anyone know why it is considered a bad file? (note: the baseurl line is oneline when i copied and pasted it but in oowriter the /dag wraps around to the next line. i altered the pasted copy to look exactly the same) thanks for any replies in advance.

if you're sure the file is ok, then hm... as my suggestion...
why don't you change the gpgchek to 0...since you don't have the key
you're adding a new repository ... but you don't have its GPG key...

to use the GPG check ( to make sure the file is OK & from the real source)
download/get it from the website.......
after that you can enable gpgcheck=1 and add one line.....
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-DAG (for example)...

hope it can help....
at least you can give it a try.
