Title: Yum issue: "No group data available for configured repositories" [SOLVED]
Post by: genisys on September 06, 2012, 01:52:04 AM

Hello -
I've just come across a problem with yum that I can't seem to fix.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
yum update sudo.i386 failed: 256

I've tried "yum clean all" and it's not resolving it.  The YUM logs show these errors:

I found an existing, but closed bug with these errors here:

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Nothing wrong here, the log messages you are showing are not relevant, the real problem is you are trying to update and it is not finding all dependencies:

I've just come across a problem with yum that I can't seem to fix.

The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

This might be due to changes in the mirroring architecture as the status of the mirrors has been a little less green the last few polls: http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors/

Mirror status seem to be OK now. If you try again, does it work then?

Hello, thanks for the response. I tried again just now and am getting the same response. I did use the "--skip broken" to update the rest and that worked fine. The only package left that needs updating is sudo.i386 0:1.7.2p1-14.el5_8.3.  Anyway, same results here:

Hello -

I resolved this issue. I went into the Software Installer in Server Manager and under "Change software installer settings" I found that the repo "CentOS - os" was not enabled. I enabled it and ran another check. After that I choose to "install available updates" and it ran through correctly.

I thought that I had this enabled, but apparently not.  Thanks again for your help.
