To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article

If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please open a ticket
with Red Hat Support.

The Red Hat explanation is blocked. All one can read is

Subscriber exclusive content"

QUESTIONS

(1)  Should the Red Hat link be replaced by a Centos one ?

(2)  Why am I seeing a 'SCL' URL when I have not subscribed to Software
Collections ?

(3)  I did not get the error when updating other C6 installations around
Europe, probably because they used different sources, so is the error
caused by a faulty mirror file ?


Despite the error, I successfully installed
