I'm trying to perform the upgrade fro 3.0.0.9 from 3.0.0.8 and got through the first pass of the update which updated the kernel, and now, after rebooting, I get this every time I try to complete the update:

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Try this first:

Changed the errors a bit, but still no luck.

That is actually a little better....no ssl error now. You can ignore the package not installed errors (already removed from first attempt)

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

What do you get when you do this?
Does test.xml look like this?

I get this:

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

Unable to locally verify the issuerâs authority.
To connect to mirrors.fedoraproject.org insecurely, use â--no-check-certificateâ.

To work around this, try adding "sslverify=false" to /etc/yum.conf, update, then remove this setting.

This is less secure, but may allow you to update.

Something is wrong with your SSL/CA certificate verification. Hopefully the update process fixes something along the way, but if not, I would encourage you to spend some time and try to isolate that problem.

Looks like I may have borked my copy 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 see if my SSL works after the upgrade finishes.

Yup, that fixed it. Thanks for all of your help!

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

My system has not problem resolving any other name.
