Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: boxgrinder-noarch

Question

I am trying to run yum update on my machine and I get this error.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: boxgrinder-noarch. Please verify its path and try again

Any idea what is wrong?

I use Fedora 15

Answer 1

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
perl -i -ape 's/https:/http:/g' *.repo

worked for me.

Answer 2

I have the same problem in Fedora 14.

When I changed the *.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, it works.

"Change all 'https' to 'http' in each *.repo file" such as:

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=ftp://ftp.cru.fr/pub/linux/fedora/releases/11/Everything/x86_64/os/
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearchthe 

change is like this

"mirrorlist=https:"--->"mirrorlist=*http:*"
