I couldn't update my Fedora 17 (gnome3) today - luckily it was my own stupid mistake... Oddly enough somehow after a network manager update the toggle to use SOCKS proxy was enabled...
I discovered that by using setting URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 and running 'yum update' and examining the output there.
I saw yum was trying to use my socks proxy to do its work... which I didn't currently have available on this network. Disabling it for this network did the trick. It'd be nice to have some sort of 'per network' control in network-manager.
