Topic: Error trying to run yum update or through server-manager

[mxc]

Hi all,

I have been trying to run updates using either yum from the command line or from server manager. I keep getting this error

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates/i386/RPMS/e-smith-horde-1.12.0-03.noarch.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.

I have been told to post this question in this forum. In the general forum it was suggested I run "yum clean all". Yesterday this resulted in an error message about repomd.xml being missing. I ran yum update again just now and it worked but bombed again when trying to download the horde package again.


If this version is no longer hosted on the mirrors what file can I edit to tell yum to download an available version? Also will this introduce any incompatibilities?

We are using version 7.0c3

thanks

You are experiencing mirror problems.  These problems have been reduced in the newer version of smeserver-yum with the mirrorlist and fastestmirror options.  These options try to find the closest/fastest mirror and if that mirror fails it will try another.

"7.0c3"  I presume you mean 7.0rc3 and if that's the case, there are MANY updates since then and this is most likely why you are having some problems.

You may want to try just updating yum first and then try a full update after.

WARNING: The version of smeserver-yum that is in smeupdates-testing may break the yum server manager panel.  It is currently being worked on so you will have to do everything from the command line.  This version employs the fastestmirror and mirrorlist options and works much better.

yum clean all
yum --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing update *yum*
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

I just noticed the package you are having problems with e-smith-horde-1.12.0-03.noarch.rpm and the current version is now -05. You can try to force the update to the current version by:

yum update e-smith-horde-1.12.0-05
post-upgrade
reboot

thanks will give it a try
