You may be onto something, I've seen that the 5.6 base repo has the sqlite metadata store while the 5.7 base repo hasn't it. But the 20K sqlite file that yum generates on my boxes looks to have at least something related to sqlite inside it rather than the response from a 404 error: [root at picard base]# strings /var/cache/yum/base/primary.xml.gz.sqlite SQLite format 3 {tabledb_infodb_info CREATE TABLE db_info (dbversion INTEGER, checksum TEXT) tablepackagespackages CREATE TABLE packages ( pkgKey INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, pkgId TEXT, name TEXT, arch TEXT, version TEXT, epoch TEXT, release TEXT, summary TEXT, description TEXT, url TEXT, time_file INTEGER, time_build INTEGER, rpm_license TEXT, rpm_vendor TEXT, rpm_group TEXT, rpm_buildhost TEXT, rpm_sourcerpm TEXT, rpm_header_start INTEGER, rpm_header_end INTEGER, rpm_packager TEXT, size_package INTEGER, size_installed INTEGER, size_archive INTEGER, location_href TEXT, location_base TEXT, checksum_type TEXT)J cindexpackagenamepackages CREATE INDEX packagename ON packages (name)G aindexpackageIdpackages CREATE INDEX packageId ON packages (pkgId) tablefilesfiles CREATE TABLE files ( name TEXT, type TEXT, pkgKey INTEGER)@ Yindexfilenamesfiles CREATE INDEX filenames ON files (name) tablerequiresrequires CREATE TABLE requires ( name TEXT, flags TEXT, epoch TEXT, version TEXT, release TEXT, pkgKey INTEGER , pre BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)L gindexpkgrequiresrequires CREATE INDEX pkgrequires on requires (pkgKey)L eindexrequiresnamerequires CREATE INDEX requiresname ON requires (name) gtableprovidesprovides CREATE TABLE provides ( name TEXT, flags TEXT, epoch TEXT, version TEXT, release TEXT, pkgKey INTEGER )L gindexpkgprovidesprovides CREATE INDEX pkgprovides on provides (pkgKey) triggerremovalspackagesCREATE TRIGGER removals AFTER DELETE ON packages BEGIN DELETE FROM files WHERE pkgKey = old.pkgKey; DELETE FROM requires WHERE pkgKey = old.pkgKey; DELETE FROM provides WHERE pkgKey = old.pkgKey; DELETE FROM conflicts WHERE pkgKey = old.pkgKey; DELETE FROM obsoletes WHERE pkgKey = old.pkgKey; ENDL eindexprovidesnameprovides CREATE INDEX providesname ON provides (name) itableconflictsconflicts CREATE TABLE conflicts ( name TEXT, flags TEXT, epoch TEXT, version TEXT, release TEXT, pkgKey INTEGER )P kindexpkgconflictsconflicts CREATE INDEX pkgconflicts on conflicts (pkgKey) itableobsoletesobsoletes CREATE TABLE obsoletes ( name TEXT, flags TEXT, epoch TEXT, version TEXT, release TEXT, pkgKey INTEGER )P kindexpkgobsoletesobsoletes CREATE INDEX pkgobsoletes on obsoletes (pkgKey)
