your thoughts on dnf-makecache
by Götz Reinicke 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Hi, From time to time I see different errors for dnf-makecache in the logs. e.g. „Errors during downloading metadata“, „Couldn't connect to server for“, „Timeout was reached“, „Couldn't resolve host name " or „Operation too slow“. In all cases, a restart of the service solves the „problem“ and in other cases the next run dose it. Beside having the errors, our current service monitoring triggers in most cases a warning message, and depending on the solution recovers too, which makes me wonder what would be the best practice for such situation. a) do I need dnf-makecache? Will it speed up things so much and makes package management much more easy, so having some errors is o.k.? b) adjust the config for dnf-makecache, so it will trigger less errors? c) adjust our monitoring to ignore some errors or be more soft with triggering warnings? C is the least preferred option right now. What do you think, how do you handle dnf-makecache? Thanks for feedback and suggestions. Götz

Ok, last month, anyway, version of firefox. (Yeah, I know, time to update). 100% of the time, any link, anywhere, to vice.com gives me "network protocol violation". Anyone else seen this? mark

Hi, FYI, it looks like Google has decided to drop support for Chrome on Centos 7. (tigger pts9) # yum install google-chrome-stable Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, langpacks, nvidia, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * elrepo: mirror.pit.teraswitch.com 10 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package google-chrome-stable.x86_64 0:95.0.4638.54-1 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.18)(64bit) for package: google-chrome-stable-95.0.4638.54-1.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: google-chrome-stable-95.0.4638.54-1.x86_64 (google-chrome) Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.18)(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem (tigger pts9) # Anyone know where to get previous rpm versions of chrome?
