Topic: Problems with yum after last update

[Rien]

Hi all,

I updated my sme-7 server with yum update. All went well. Yesterday I wanted to look for recent updates again but yum failed.

Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository contrib is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository centosplus is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository addons is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: testing
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from testing: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from testing: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

How can I correct this?

Thanks,

Please report that in the bugtracker.

I have yum update problem as described in this bug:
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1873

But I guess the issue you two are experiencing is a different one.

I have still the same problem and I still can't use yum anymore. Why?.. I still don't know.

So I want to deinstall yum and then reinstall it again. Should that be a solution?

Because I can't use the 'yum'-way, I have to delete yum the old fashioned way. Does anyone know the name of the yum rpm so I can delete it with: rpm -e yum....

thanks,

Moving this topic to the SME Server 7.x forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought that Yum was an add-on.

The problem is solved. I uninstalled the yum-noarch and smeserver-yum rpm's with

Code: [Select]

rpm -e --nodeps yum.noarch smeserver-yum

I deleted yum.conf and the yum directories in /etc

Then I reinstalled yum-noarch and smeserver-yum and everything works again.

I got the files from the CDROOM. Is it anything wrong with the method?

It works for me, did you have the same problem or a slightly different one. My solution was a matter of "trial and error".

I had my files from http://ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/releases/7/smeos/i386/CentOS/RPMS but I can't imagine that should be the problem.

After you reinstalled the rpm's, do a

Code: [Select]

yum update Then check if there is a new yum.conf in your /etc directory. If that is OK, you have to make the repositories active and visible.
