I'm using fedora 19, here I'm trying to install 32-bit compatibility libraries using terminal. but it shows this error. Please someone help me. I added "h/ttps" for links because I don't have permission to post links.

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# su -c 'yum install package.i?86'
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Could not get metalink h/ttps://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=x86_64 error was

Disable the IPV6 then everything works.

To completely disable IPv6 in your system, all you have to do is save the following line in a file (anyname.conf) inside /etc/modprobe.d/.

install ipv6 /bin/true

And sometimes your dns server may not powerful enough so use google open dns. for that go to /etc/resolv.conf comment all the lines and add below two lines

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Do not restart the system. if restart /etc/resolv.conf file will be replace.

Here is the blog post I wrote with step by step guide: http://codeketchup.blogspot.sg/2014/07/how-to-fix-curl-6-could-not-resolve.html

Check why the fedora repo is not accessible with URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1,debug.log yum -y install package - look inside the generated debug.log for hints. Possibly the same problem as https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/31043/yum-error/

Try

sudo yum clean all

and then re-run your yum commands.

Please confirm that you have network access, even the google-chrome repository is failing, so it isn't just a Fedora mirror issue.
