[X2Go-User] Upgrading to nx-libs 3.5.99.1 on Fedora 24

[Robert Dinse]

      Ok, I have in /etc/yum.repos.d a file with:

[copr.fedorainfracloud.org_coprs_mikedep333_nx-libs-3.6_]
name=created by dnf config-manager from 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6/
baseurl=https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6/
enabled=1

      But when I try to update it says:

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 
'copr.fedorainfracloud.org_coprs_mikedep333_nx-libs-3.6_', disabling.
