Did you install EPEL?

Note: This was handled until fixed on the mailing list. Here's the gist of it:

His EPEL repo file was:
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch [^]
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch [^]
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 [^]


He uncommented baseurl, commented mirrorlist and did a `yum clean all`. Afterwards the following worked:

yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence,rpmforge Packetfence-complete

He might have been hitting an out of sync mirror or maybe the HTTPS cert on the fedora site was bad, we are not sure. If you face the same problem try the above workaround.
