Hi, yum update is giving me the following errors:

# yum -y install mplayer Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, fs-snapshot, refresh-packagekit, security Setting up Install Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/metalink | 12 kB 00:00

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
c6-media. Please verify its path and try again

So, does this mean the server is down?

  • It means that c6-media (which is likely the CD or DVD that you installed CentOS 6 from) is not present on your computer, probably because you removed it from the cd drive.

  • the c6-media pseudorepository shouldn’t be enabled, you must have manually edited it to enable it ?
