Unable to install the RPMFUSION repo on Fedora 17

Hi I've looked through the prior RPM fusion threads but am unable to find the answer to the issue that I am having with installing the RPMFUSION repo.

I am running Fedora 17

Code:
[root@EDI yum-root-zWsGpT]# uname -r
3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64
And I believe that I may have done something to cause the problem by deleting the repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d. I am not sure if they were or were not in there but as of now I cannot get the RPMFUSION repos to install when I follow the instructions on their web page.

Code:
[root@EDI ~]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm                                                                                 |  17 kB     00:00     
Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-zWsGpT/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm: rpmfusion-free-release-15-5.noarch
/var/tmp/yum-root-zWsGpT/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm                                                                              |  17 kB     00:00     
Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-zWsGpT/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm: rpmfusion-nonfree-release-15-5.noarch
/var/tmp/yum-root-zWsGpT/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do
when I list the repos I have all I get is the following:

As you can see there is an error and RPMFUSION is nowhere to be found.

when I try the command again I get the following with the error gone:

The contenst of /etc/yum.repos.d is below:

Code:
[root@EDI yum.repos.d]# ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x.   2 root root  4096 Sep  6 23:11 .
drwxr-xr-x. 150 root root 12288 Sep  6 23:50 ..
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root  1144 May  4 15:31 fedora.repo
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root  1105 May  4 15:31 fedora-updates.repo
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root  1163 May  4 15:31 fedora-updates-testing.repo
I also found the following yum related context in /var/tmp although I do not know if it is related to the problem.

Code:
[root@EDI yum-root-zWsGpT]# ls -l
total 40
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16913 Feb 29  2012 rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 17065 Feb 29  2012 rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get the default yum repos and then try to add RPMFUSION again? Please help. Thank you.

Re: Unable to install the RPMFUSION repo on Fedora 17

The error is nothing to be concerned about. It just means that there are issues with that particular mirror. That's why it is there one minute and gone the next. I see similar all the time.

What does rpm -qa | grep release show?
PHP Code:
[root@blackhole ~>$ rpm -qa grep release
fedora
-release-17-1.noarch
rpmfusion
-free-release-17.0.3-1.noarch
rpmfusion
-nonfree-release-17.0.3-1.noarch 
If this were my computer I'd delete the files in /var/tmp and reinstall rpmfusion following the instructions at rpmfusion.org

I just reinstalled the whole system and will keep track of exactly what I'm doing.

Right now rpm- qa | grep release shows the following:

Code:
[kostya@EDI ~]$ rpm -qa | grep release
fedora-release-17-1.noarch
fedora-release-notes-17.0.1-1.fc17.noarch
isorelax-0-0.7.release20050331.fc17.noarch
I'm assuming that the last line deals witht he packages on the installaction CD?
Now that I will attempt the RPMFUSION installation again, why doesn't the url they provide lead to a repo but to an RPM?

Re: Unable to install the RPMFUSION repo on Fedora 17

The RPM files are the "packages" that are installed. When done you should see something like this:
PHP Code:
[glenn@script-test Downloads>$ yum repolist
Loaded plugins
fastestmirrorlangpacksprestorefresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 
fedoramirrors.med.harvard.edu
 
rpmfusion-freemirror.us.leaseweb.net
 
rpmfusion-free-updatesmirror.us.leaseweb.net
 
rpmfusion-nonfreemirror.us.leaseweb.net
 
rpmfusion-nonfree-updatesmirror.us.leaseweb.net

rpmfusion

But, after you install the rpms you should probably issue a
PHP Code:
yum update rpmfus
just to make sure you get the latest rpmfusion data.

Thank you very much. I got the RPMFUSION packages. Marking this SOLVED. Now to figure out Nvidia installation. I got a GT 440 do you have any tips?
