    Hi,

    I am trying to install gtkpod as it supports iPod. When I open terminal and run :
    Code:
    sudo yum install yum install gtkpod
    I get this output:

    Code:
    [user@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install gtkpod
    playonlinux               100% |=========================| 1.0 kB    00:00     
    [url]http://www.mulx.net/fedora/yum/base/repodata/repomd.xml:[/url] [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for playonlinux: Damaged repomd.xml file
    Trying other mirror.
    Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: playonlinux. Please verify its path and try again
    [user@localhost ~]$ 
    I am lost and confused. Can anyone please assist?

    Thank you very much,

    -Ash R

    Looks like the repository's xml file is broken.

    The repository maintainer has to fix it. You can also get gtkpod directly from the Fedora Project Koji website
