Means you have an invalid url in the base repo config section.

This can be found in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Just grep for extras in this directory for the correct config section/file.

Code:

grep extras /etc/yum.repos.d/*

I followed that URL. It doesnt exist.
But i did find repomd.xl in

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ata/repomd.xml

I can only see what is wrong if you paste the relevant .repo file like i asked in earlier post..
