Greetings;

Over the weekend I tried to drag out my lappy and update it, getting
ready to upgrade to FC6, its currently FC5, but about 2 weeks out of
date.

To make a long story shorter, what with editing the repo addresses,
putting fedoraproject.org in where downloads-redhat.com was due to
the repo or mirroring failures, I now have a __.000db file that when
I shut it down yesterday, was a zero length file and both yumex and
smart package manager were spitting out terminal tummy aches over
it. An 'rpm --rebuilddb' also fails, as does an "rpm --initdb"

Humm, now this morning, its back to complaining about an "invalid
baseurl for core".

As that _000.db file seems to be missing now, and its not bitching
about it ATM, whats the next step here?, I've been out of the loop
since last wednesday, out on the road. So if its been posted, whats
the subject line?

----
try removing the # (commenting out) the baseurl
in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo

I've been trying to edit that and have it thoroughly fubared.

If I can't restore what was there, and amanda doesn't try to track that
lappy, what is the correct contents for the "mirrorlist=" line in
fedora-core.repo?

Where can I download a replacement for the contents of
/etc/yum.repos.d? I've had google searching for it, but all it can seem
to find is the livna setup instructions. They seem to be fine.

this is mine... (altered per instructions from wiki for FC-5)
