I didn't see this in the mail archives, maybe I missed it. I'm running CentOS 3. It looks like the $releasever directory has been dropped from mirrors.centos.org. This just happened in the last week (I run a daily cron to check for updates) My yum.conf (for CentOS 3) has url's defined like:

baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/$releasever/addons/$basearch/

But when I run yum I get errors: Server: CentOS-3 - Addons retrygrab() failed for: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/addons/i386/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/addons/i386/headers/header.info

Using my browser I see that this URL doesn't exist: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/addons/i386/headers/header.info

But this does (notice the 3/ is missing): http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/addons/i386/headers/header.info

Is this a permament change or a temporary one due to server updates?

Thanks,

That is a previous version of yum.conf ... get rid of the centos-3/ it should be:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch

(substitute os,extras.centosplus,updates for addons as well as needed)
