  Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released
That's pretty much what I get every time I try to install anything with yum. Are you saying that it can actually find and install software for you?

The only time it ever worked for me was installing Mono. I just assumed that there were very few software packages that it worked for and that you had to hand-install the rest.

Is there an easy way to teach it how to find stuff? If so, that would be great news.



In cases like this google is your friend. Just type "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released" (in quotes) into google.

I use Ubuntu and apt-get. It all just works. Don't know anything about yum myself.

edit: I'm guessing you're using Fedora 10? Here's the package list: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/collections/id/19
