Hello,
On a remote server (in an IPv6-only infrastructure) I am getting the
following error when trying to update CentOS 8 Streams x86_64:
$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8
CentOS Stream 8 - AppStream
0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:16
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'appstream':
- Curl error (7): Couldn't connect to server for
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=stock
[Failed to connect to mirrorlist.centos.org port 80: Permission denied]
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare
internal mirrorlist: Curl error (7): Couldn't connect to server for
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=stock
[Failed to connect to mirrorlist.centos.org port 80: Permission denied]
Trying to retrieve the mirror list with wget gives similar errors (see log
below).
This is a development VM and I was playing with firewalld zones on this
interface (drop, block, etc.) in order to see the most restrictive that I
could use in order to update a system. But the error also appears if I
switch back the zone to public.
Could it be that my address has been blacklisted because of all these tests?
>From my laptop, also running CentOS 8 Streams, everything is working as
expected.
Thank in advance for hints on how to analyze further!
