Was just doing a (very) belated update on a 7.5 system and ran into this set of errors:
Some delta RPMs failed to download or rebuild. Retrying..
so, anybody know why we're getting the 416 error from yum but not from firefox?
Hi Fred,
Ran into this yesterday. It seems to be a delta rpm problem. Firefox is working because it’s downloading the whole rpm, avoiding the issue.
setting deltarpm=0 in /etc/yum.conf is an equivalent workaround, and fixed the issue for me.
I’d appreciate someone who knows more about how delta rpms work weighing in on what the actual issue is.
Not sure what happened with the drpms, but I will regenerate all the polkit drpms with the upcoming ghostscript release later this morning.
I added drpm tests to our pre-release CI tests as well.
