Re: mirrors errors

Hi Eyal, This does not look like a mirror issue but a MetaLink one. MetaLink is a security plugin for yum [1] and I saw the same issue last week so MetaLink may have been broken at that time. Basically what it does is fetches a file like [2] and checks if the mirrors received from the mirrorlist are present there. Maybe it does some other checks, but the point of this is protection against stale/rogue mirrors. I think we should just disable MetaLink on our CI slaves as we don't rely on latest fedora software versions anyway.

At this point the only DEBUG util.py:421: safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: DEBUG util.py:421: 1.
