I finally just did yum update on this box (actually 6.3) and now it is 6.7. During the update it created a CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew file. I renamed my current one and this one to just .repo and now I again get:

I thought updating to 6.7 might fix something, but it didn’t help. Any ideas why it is doing this?
If I go to:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock> <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock>>
in a browser, it shows a list of repos.
I just noticed on a stock install of 6.7 (from 6.4 doing a test), doing yum update shows this:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
But on the box I just updated it shows:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
So maybe the presto plugin is causing the problem. Anyone else using presto plugin??

That wasn’t it. I disabled presto then both with (and got the following error):
yum update --disableplugin=presto,fast* Setting up Update Process Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr... http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock error was 12: Timeout on http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infr...: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock: (28, 'connect() timed out!') Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again

Not sure what to try next. Other than my previous fix of not using a mirror list, but a known local repo that works fine for updates.

Poking around I found:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d and now I see where presto comes from. I noticed in the fastmirror.conf there is a line
hostfile-timedhosts.txt
On my test box it has several lines of hosts with a number.
On the box I’m have yum update issues, it is blank. ??
