Hi,
I have problem in my newly installed fedora 12. I got this
error every time I tried to install anything via yum:
[root@localhost User]# yum update
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for
repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
Below is the contents of my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
[snip]
Try turning off (or lowering its protection) SELinux. On my initial install of F12, I had
to turn it off to update, and configure several things. Over the years SELinux has caused
me so many problems, that I either don't install it, uninstall it or turn it off.
