Hi all,
I would like to upgrade an existing F11 system to F12. However, the
installer throws up an error message:
----
Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata
directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been properly generated.
Cannot retrieve repository data (respond.xml) for respository

try again.

I've seen this the last few Fedora upgrades. As a result, I usually end up
doing the upgrade with yum. However this time I am changing architecture
(686->86_64) and would prefer to do it from the DVD, as I don't believe that
using yum to do this is supported.
Thanks.
Try starting the install again, but skip the disk check this time. I
have one machine that has this problem - it can no longer access the
DVD after the media check. But if I reboot, and skip the check, it
works. (The DVD passes the check.) I keep meaning to look into this,
and get enough details for a bug report. But I start playing with
the new version, and I forget about it again. Just to make things
interesting, The same DVD works in another machine after doing the
check, so it is something about the first machine.
