For about a week a biug stack of updates have been pending for CENTOS but I can't install them. The yum update command leads to dependency resolution in the usual way but it always ends in this:
---> Package poppler-utils.i386 0:0.5.4-4.4.el5_4.11 set to be updated ---> Package xorg-x11-drv-qxl.i386 0:0.0.12-1.2.el5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos for package: gmime-sharp ---> Package java-1.6.0-openjdk.i386 1:1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 set to be updated http://linux.mirrors.es.net/fedora-epel/5/i386/repodata/0a2db1a48154104f63a8...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/epel/5/i386/repodata/0a2db1a48154104f63a8102265369...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.
[...and about another thirty lines with some intended-to-be-helpful suggestions that don't work.]
At first I thought it might just be that the mirrors were busy with lotsa downloads but as time goes by this is a progressively less and less satisfactory situation. Does anyone else have this problem? or a suggestion?
TIA,
Dave

<snip> I see it's trying to get a file list. I started upgrading this week, and get the occasional pkgKey not found. You might try what I found as the answer: yum clean all, yum clean metadata.

well, I'm now much better off in consequence of disabling epel, 179 updates went through just fine. the cleanup with yum didn't seem to have the desired effect:
[root@cserver admin]# yum check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: ftp.telus.net * base: ftp.telus.net * epel: linux.mirrors.es.net * extras: ftp.telus.net * updates: ftp.telus.net

so definite progress but not quite there yet. thanks for the help.

Disable the 'addons' repo and your problem will be resolved.

That sounds like a bit of very random advice, given that Dave's dns is not responding - how would disabling the addons repo have an impact on Dave's nameserver ?

Perhaps he has an invalid URL specified only for addons and not base/updates?

well I did disable addons and then was able to do the update. Then when I checked for available updates I got only three showing, all listed as epel. For the moment those updates are of no special importance so I'm happy to deal with other problems. Nonetheless I remained puzzled by both the original problem and the fix.
