Yum problems?

[glennzo]

Anyone noticed problems with yum today? Can't update. Can't retrieve metadata for rawhide. Maybe it's just me?

We've all seen this a million times.
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: rawhide. Please verify its path and try again

Hi,

Probably related to the data centre move

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-December/msg00008.html

Try later

[glennzo]

Pretty much what I thought it may be. Thanks Rahul :)

[chepioq]

I have same problem and today no amelioration...
Have you any information?

[hephasteus]

I wonder if they say things like.

Into the rack ye goooo ye scurvy dog server!!!!
While they are reracking the servers.
Or
Do ye confess your obedience to windows!!?

Updated today and mirrors are available again. But there is a problem, 100% CPU usage after upgrade caused by canberra-gtk-play. System is nearly unusable, so be careful with updating.

[glennzo]

CSchwanger, could you attach your fedora-rawhide.repo please? Just the first section [rawhide]. I'm still having trouble here with Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: rawhide. Please verify its path and try again

[CSchwangler]

Here we go

Great! Thank you. As I suspected the text is identical, but it was worth a shot.

[CSchwangler]

So it isn't working for you, I guess? At least one difference between us is that I am located in Germany and I guess I am attached to different mirrors than you are.

Nope. Not working and hasn't for a week or so.

Have you seen what I was added in my previous post?

I tried that a few days ago. I get the same error a little later in the yum "run". Here's the stock version.

If I comment out mirrorlist and uncomment baseurl here's what I get.

This is all current. I just tried both as I'm writing this reply.

[Hlingler]

[Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 7 - ""Looks very familiar: http://trac.city-fan.org/cfo-trac/ticket/2

Perhaps F13 is trying the same busted c-ares thingy that City-Fan.Org already got burned by ? I'd try a downgrade of [lib]curl* to "pre-c-ares" build.

EDIT: Here's when it happened:* Wed Sep 30 2009 Kamil Dudka <kdudka@redhat.com> 7.19.6-11
- build libcurl with c-ares support (#514771)

P.S. Note what Paul Howarth says in his last reply as to why some repo server mirrors might work while others do not. (IPv4 only).

[glennzo]

Hi Vince. As usual, you've come through again :) This morning, after having looked at the link you provided and what you had written both here and there I did
rpm -e libcurl --nodeps
rpm -ivh libcurl-7.19.7-2.fc12.i686.rpm
Yum appears to be working correctly. I'm updating that system now with
yum --exclude=libcurl update
I suppose that I should also add libcurl to the excludes line in yum.conf for the time being.

I should note, for the sake of others, that I ran into a dependency problem with xine-libs-extras-freeworld. The solution there, if it should arise, was simply
yum remove xine-lib-extras-freeworld
before the yum update.

Thank you!

[glennzo]

Updated today and mirrors are available again. But there is a problem, 100% CPU usage after upgrade caused by canberra-gtk-play. System is nearly unusable, so be careful with updating.
You nailed that one. Same thing here.

Hi guys,
I've been following this post with interest.I followed the instructions given and I was able to update successfully yesterday.

The trouble is that I've been trying to yum update today and I forgot to put --exclude=libcurl when I tried to update today.Now I get this error message:

It keeps getting stuck on rpm-fusion-free! I tried to re-do the steps in removing the latest libcurl,and re-installing the fc12 version of libcurl.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hi leigh123linux,
Thanks for the info,I didn't spot that announcement at all.
I just hope it will be up and running soon.

Regards,
STEVE555

[Hlingler]

There are two overlapping issues here. I suspect that for STEVE555, even if RPMFusion repos/mirrors were working, he still may find an error because of the CURL issue:14: PYCURL ERROR 7 - ""V

[STEVE555]

Hi guys,
It seems RPMFusion is back up an running again:) I've did an yum update today(with the --exclude=libcurl option) and I got a load of updates.

Thank you for your help.
