RPM download broken

Post by StephenH »

I received a notification when I executed a "yum update" from Fedora 16 x86_64 but when I tried to execute it, it gave me the message that there were "no more mirrors."

I manually looked at this:

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 16/x86_64/

The item listing for the new version shows this:

VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.12_77218_fedora16-1.x86_64.rpm -

There is no file size. Somehow, the listing for the rpm file is there, but it does not link to the actual rpm file. This is the case also with the i686 version (I did not check the other F16 versions). It also appears to be the case for the other Fedora releases (including the F17 version which is currently in beta and the older F15 version).

Hopefully, this is a temporary absence of the file. It will be fixed soon, I hope.

Edit:
Okay, I just saw another post (regarding Debian) which linked to a post saying that the files were being replaced due to a regression. It also said that the links should be live soon. Therefore, there is no need to pursue this further.

Yes, that should be fixed since yesterday.
