According to 'yum info xulrunner' version 1.9.0.19, release 1.el5_5 exists and is an available package. But when I try to update it, yum claims there is nothing to do and when I try a general update, yum complains that it cannot update firefox because it cannot find xulrunner
= 1.9.0.19-1. What is going on here?
I am doing this on a desktop x86_64 system that I recently brought up to CentOS 5.5, using the DVD ISO I downloaded to my laptop. I'd like to finish this update, but I am having this strange problem. I am getting the same problem on my (i686) laptop. I'm guessing that the updates repos are presently broken?

You want you money back? ;)
It's just out of sync public mirrors compared to centos.org main servers.
out of sync public mirrors issue: when updates are pushed and metadata generated, sometimes the public mirrors are not pulling the complete set of files.
Since CentOS do not control the public mirrors action, one needs to wait the next round of sync (usually between 4/6h).

possible workaround: wget the file/yum localinstall or wait

<snip> Some of us can't wait that long, between a) taking off for the weekend (US) early, and b) people who are out, who require their systems this afternoon. I used --skip-broken.
HOWEVER, I got this: (168/213): net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm | 1.3 MB 00:00 http://mirror.rackspace.com/CentOS/5.5/updates/i386/RPMS/net-snmp-libs-5.3.2...: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download Trying other mirror.
...and it tried about 8 mirrors before it found one that worked. I didn't think there were updates in the last couple days - what's going on here?

Following up my own post, one of the updates died (the workstation, not the server update), with Error Downloading Packages: 1:net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386: failure: RPMS/net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386: failure: RPMS/device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
So, what's going on?

Then you should keep a local mirror that you manage yourself if this is so critical.

same issue as previously stated see http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/updates/i386/repodata/ for instance or any failing mirror versus http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/updates/i386/repodata/
The metadata are not in sync on public mirrors, there is not much I can do.

We *have* a mirror, and have had, since long before I came on board. I, personally, built the 5.5 one the beginning of last week, before I started rolling out updates.

Great.... But then, not your fault/responsibility.

I had the same problem. Just waited till the next morning and everything synced fine. Wasn't this just a Firefox update?
