yum error

I just got the following error while trying to update the system:

# yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
adobe-linux-x86_64                             |  951 B  00:00:00
fedora/19/x86_64/metalink                      |  25 kB  00:00:00
Could not parse metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=x86_64 error was
No repomd file
Error: File /var/cache/yum/x86_64/19/fedora/metalink.xml does not exist

As seen from the output, the problem is with some Fedora mirror. After googling for a solution and trying different fixes, none of which worked for me, I finally edited /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo, commented out the line mirrorlist and uncommented baseurl line. After that, everything worked.

To conclude this post, the problem is with some mirror picked by yum.
