I've just installed FC2 Test 3 today (very nice!) and was wanting to add some additional packages/functionality. However, I'm having a problem getting packages via yum.
For example, I get the following message:
[root@localhost Desktop]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1.92 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for:
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1.92/i386/yum/os/heade... Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for:
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/1.92/i386/os/headers/heade... Executing failover method retrygrab() failed for: http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1.92/i386/os/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/1.92/i386/yum/os/heade... [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Is this caused by bad mirrors, nothing yet for this release, or something else entirely? Anyone else having success with yum and installing on this latest version?
Attached is my yum.conf as well.
Thanks.

That sounds like bad mirrors. Here is my yum.conf file it may be useful to you but I don't know where you are. They may be slow but they work for me so you will be able to at least tell if it is caused by bad mirrors.

you definitely need the baseurl= for each entry you can't just have the url there.

I'm probably just misreading your message, but only use ONE baseurl= per server section. List other urls on the following line(s).
From $man yum.conf
baseurl must be a url to the directory where the yum repository’s ’headers’ directory lives. Can be an http://, ftp:// or file://url. You can specify multiple urls in one baseurl statement. The best way to do this is like this:
[serverid] name=Some name for this server baseurl=url://server1/path/to/repository/ url://server2/path/to/repository/ url://server3/path/to/repository/
If you list more than one baseurl= statement in a repository you will find yum will ignore the earlier ones and probably act bizarrely. Don’t do this, you’ve been warned.

Well, I've been using the yum.conf I've posted earlier in the thread, and I'm still getting 'retrygrab() failed for:' messages on all my mirrors. Someone have a yum.conf that's working for them that I could try?
Thanks.

A couple of notes:
1) Providing the end of the error (where it says specifically what went wrong) is more illuminating than saying "getting 'retrygrab() failed for' messages". Now, you posted the entire error in the original message, so I'm not chastising you... just offering general advice to the community :)
2) Adding a baseurl is not (and should not be perceived to be) mysterious. The baseurl is simply the location where "headers/" lives. So, when I see this:
retrygrab() failed for: http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1.92/i386/os/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1.92/i386/os/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
then I know your baseurl is: http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1.92/i386/os/
My point is this: If you want to use a given mirror but they've changed their filesystem layout, or someone gave you a bad baseurl, you need only find the place where the headers/ dir lives. You can usually do this in about 60 seconds with your favorite browser.
I almost NEVER bother looking for a yum.conf snippet or documented baseurl. I find it much faster to simply browse the repo looking for the headers dir.
I hope this is useful. -Michael

As you mentioned, posted earlier in the thread.

I didn't say adding a baseurl WAS mysterious.

Actually, I had asked for known good mirrors so...:-)
I think you had good intentions, though.

Agreed. My original email (and this one, too) should be interpreted as inspired by you, but directed to the community.

Well, some of the mirrors in that config file ARE good mirrors (meaning the server has all the files you want). They simply have the wrong baseurls. A 404 USUALLY just means that someone made a typo or that the mirror layout got rearranged.

I did, indeed :)

Depends on where you are located as to what mirrors are "good" but here are some that work:
[development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree baseurl=ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch ftp://ftp.net.usf.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/development/$basearch http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearc... failovermethod=priority gpgcheck=1
Pick some geographically close entries from the mirrors list at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and follow Michael Stenner's advice from earlier in the thread about browsing to find the correct URLs for the development directories (for your architecture) with "headers" subdirectories present, then update yum.conf accordingly.
Note: If you omit "failovermethod=priority" yum will default to roundrobin which randomly selects a url out of the list. I suggest not using download.fedora.redhat.com with roundrobin to avoid loading the master server, or much worse, having it as the sole entry as another responder suggested. Another downside to the default value of roundrobin is that the various repositories are nearly always in different states of [un]sync due to the fast rate of release of updates and different sync timing schemes. This may result in dependency errors that differ from one update attempt to another (more so than they do anyway with the dynamics of FC2 development).
