Hello all,
I manage a few servers overseas that are running CentOS 6.
When performing a yum update, it fails because it's trying to download from:
mirror.centos.org/centos/*6.6*/extras/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
Which fails due to the fact that the entire 6.6 directory is empty on all of the mirrors I have checked. From what I can tell it should be using:
mirror.centos.org/centos/*6*/extras/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Obviously changing the CentOS-Base file to use 'baseurl' rather than 'mirrorlist' is a workaround, but I would prefer a more permanent solution, and would like to know why this is happening.
Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Hi, in most cases you would expect mirrorlist to be defined rather than baseurl unless you want to be pointing to a specific repository. I would suggest that you do a fresh install somewhere update it and then compare the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with your existing systems.
As examples of base and updates from one of my own systems I have
[base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
#released updates [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
