Dag repo problem FC4

92b16vx · #1 10th July 2005, 01:44 AM

just installed FC4 x86_64, am trying to update everything but keep getting this error...

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
core                      100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00
dries                     100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00
http://apt.sw.be/fedora/4/en/x86_64/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 00:39:35 GMT
Server: Apache/2.1.5-dev (Unix)
Content-Length: 316

Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: dag
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Here is my Dag repo

Code:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

I am guessing it is wrong for FC4 64, what needs to be changed? I got these from Stanton-Finleys page here

Help me out I want to try getting everything back up.

[root@whitecowsgo media]# yum install something...

Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: newrpms.sunsite.dk
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from newrpms.sunsite.dk: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

to get around it till its fixed im just using

yum --disablerepo=newrpms.sunsite.dk install something... :/

I also used the same guide to set up repo's, it was working untill today

GUYS, keep in mind that sometimes that server may be down which is common from time to time. Try other repos such as freshrpms or livna.

BTW, this may be of interest too.

Oh, I know, I was just thining I did something wrong, I have been using --disable dag and it's been working.

On teh link you posted, it says "vi sourceConfig.py" which brought up the correct page, when I use "gedit sourcesConfig.py", it does nothing. When I try to edit it in the page that "vi sourceConfig.py" brings up (which is terminal) it won't let me edit it.

use the nano editor.

Okay. Clearing the upstream cache with something like these commands (for your troublesome repository of course) seems to help. Be sure to do a "yum clean all" as root before you do this:

Code:

wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/4/en/i386/dag/repodata/filelists.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/4/en/i386/dag/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml
wget --cache=off http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/core/repodata/repomd.xml

I've done several yum clean all and it seems to be sporradically working. I will check for updates, then try to install the updates and it will error out. Yum clean all, and it works again. Pretty Funny. Question though, Stanton - I followed your guide to set up the repo's for FC3 and 4. How come when I do a yum --disablerepo=dag it doesn't work for me. Everytime I do it, I get the help menu like I am misstyping the command. Any idea?? I found I can get things to work my editing the enable=1 to 0 in the repo file. Any reason why the disablerepo doesn't work for me (btw I am doing it as root)

this is what the dag.repo looks like

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=1
#gpgcheck=1

Should be "yum --disablerepo=dag update" as root or "sudo yum --disablerepo=dag update". Be sure the label in the dag.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ really says [dag].

would I need to append 'update' at the end of all the repos?? Say if I was to disable another one, like dries??

allmain · #13 25th October 2005, 09:23 AM

This is what i get when i try to do yum update
http://apt.sw.be/fedora/4/en/i386/da...rimary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from dag: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Translation: dag server is down
