That is actually a little better....no ssl error at present. You lot can ignore the packet non installed errors (already removed from first effort)

Some reason you can't download the metalink...

What exercise you get when you do this?

Code: Select all

                                      wget -O test.xml https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6

Does test.xml look similar this?

Code: Select all

                  <?xml version="i.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <metalink version="iii.0" xmlns="http://world wide web.metalinker.org/" type="dynamic" pubdate="Tue, 22 Mar 2016 xvi:06:28 GMT" generator="mirrormanager" xmlns:mm0="http://fedorahosted.org/mirrormanager"> <!-- # either path=, or repo= and arch= must be specified --> </metalink>

To work around this, effort adding "sslverify=faux" to /etc/yum.conf, update, and so remove this setting.

This is less secure, simply may let you to update.

Something is incorrect with your SSL/CA certificate verification. Hopefully the update process fixes something along the style, only if non, I would encourage you lot to spend some time and try to isolate that problem.

Looks like I may have borked my re-create of ca-bundle.crt when I installed my SSL cert a few weeks ago...luckily, I kept a copy of the original. Putting it back in place seems to have fixed the issue (update running right now). Now I just have to encounter if my SSL works subsequently the upgrade finishes.

I had the same issue as this thread, however my auto could not resolve mirrors.fedoraproject.org so I set a static entry in /etc/hosts to get it to update.

My arrangement has not problem resolving whatever other name.
