[SOLVED] Yum Repo Errors

[jetman882]

I get this error now when I run any yum command:

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: pgdg84. Please verify its path and try again

It wont let me post the address of the repo that it is failing to find, the forum blocks it.

I was trying to install postgresql, and ran some commands that might have added a broken repo, but I am not sure how to remove it.

Thanks~

fixed the issue by removing the "broken" .repo file

well, change the 8.4 to a 9.1 since 9.1 is the only repo that PostgreSQL has available for F16.

Or you can install the correct repo file:

http://yum.pgrpms.org/9.1/fedora/fed...1-4.noarch.rpm

There really isn't a need for a third party repo for PostgreSQL anyway since F16 has it in the standard Fedora repos.
