Ask Fedora

Hi guys. EOF for 39 is only in november. I got this error trying to install a hping3 today:

Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘updates’:

my fedora repo has this:

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.example/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
#metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch

I just tried to change from “meta” to “base” and both are not working. Are there any mirror changes?

Check your ISP and do you using any VPN ?Maybe that is problem because It is unusual that can’t read repos fedora and updates or we have corrupted database .We will see firstly check that you have clear and full connection because failure of meta data is all ip4 addresses.

Where is “f3b0ffb6ce8217ab150dd66810908f744d17ba863d20eeb4326efb940f956033-up” there?

Hi, I think it is asking for data not present in this mirror. Please check error when I am try to install something before clean all repos

6

Yes I check It out and asking you do you are behind internet service provider that offer ip6 connection only or you using virtual private network ?

No VPN connection here. IPv4 only

curl ifconfig.co ░▒▓ :heavy_check_mark:  18:33:11 
177.12.xxx
Blue “ruim” means “bad” for IPv6
