random yum problem

Boomba · 11-05-2005, 01:10 PM

I just used yum to remove two programs i didnt want anymore and then when I went "yum update" later, I got this message.

Quote:

Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: livna
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from livna: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from livna: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

I tried a "yum clean all" and then tried "yum update" again but I still get the same error as above. This is the first time yum has given me problems.

any suggestions on how to fix this?

thanx in advance

pick a working url to use as a repo mirror.

it looks like the repo you've added there is simply not responding. i've never heard of a "livna" repo, so i assume you added it yourself. either remove it, fix the url, or replace it with a working mirror.
