Can you do:
URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum install whatever-youweretryingtoinstall
and paste the last 500 lines or so?
That will usually show the issue.
Often its:
* Your machine time is vastly off so the ssl cert is not showing as
valid yet.
* You are behind a proxy so you need to configure that.
* Your dns resolution isn't working.
Also, there's a epel-devel list or the fedora users list for end user
queries like this. ;)
