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

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:*"

Answer 3

find out the repo which is causing a problem in your case it is
box-grinder, remove the repo or fix it.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
mv /etc/yum.repos.d/box-grinder.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/box-grinder.repo.disabled

Answer 4

I was able to get rid of this error by removing the boxgrinder repos
I removed these files
boxgrinder-nightly.repo boxgrinder-noarch.repo boxgrinder-x86_64.repo
from /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

Answer 5

[ percona ]
Attempting to get the percona-release-0.1-3.noarch.rpm
The issue I had:
http://repo.percona.com/release/6.6/RPMS/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found"
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: percona-release-noarch. Please verify its path and try again
What I did to fix the issue:
sed -i 's/$releasever/5/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/percona-release.repo
You won't see a response.
yum clean all
yum update
This should solve your problem
What this does? sed overwrites whatever the percona-release.repo file says with s/$releasever/5/g incase the yum clean all doesn't catch it or some other error occurs.
yum repo shell drupal percona fedora
