Hi all,

I have a Dell server, CentOS 5.6 64 bits, on which I configured the CR
repository. I just tried to update to 5.7, and had this error :
# yum update
....
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/cr/x86_64/repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2:
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2 from cr: [Errno 256] No
more mirrors to try.
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

My repolist is this one :

Does anybody has an idea why I have this error ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Paul,

Indeed, yum clean all fixed the error. Yum update completed without error.
....
xulrunner.x86_64 0:1.9.2.22-1.el5_7 yum.noarch
0:3.2.22-37.el5.centos
zlib.i386 0:1.2.3-4.el5 zlib.x86_64
0:1.2.3-4.el5
zlib-devel.i386 0:1.2.3-4.el5
zlib-devel.x86_64 0:1.2.3-4.el5

Complete!

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)

I must say I wondered how the yum update will deal with the CR updates,
and if the error was related to this, but it seems that everything is OK
now.

Thanks.

Alain

unfortunately, you hit an issue that I did not think anyone would see (
but was aware of... ). The issue originates from the fact that the new
CR repo has no sqlite metadata store, its xml only. And your machine was
trying to get the sqlite files - hitting a valid 404, since those files
do not exist.

The actual issue is that rather than yum seeing a new repomd.xml in the
repodata/ dir, downloading that and knowing that there is no sqlite db
available, it retained the repomd.xml you already had ( from the prev
5.6/cr repo ). So I dont think the issue really is that you hit a 404,
but why was yum looking for a repo metadata file that does not exist,
the new repomd.xml clearly states that those files do not exist.

Do you have something interesting setup for caching, timeouts etc in yum
? or, are you perhaps behind a proxy that still served up an old ( stale
? ) repomd.xml for the same url ?

I also encountered a similar problem.

"yum clean all" did not resolve it, but *not* installing the CR prior to the
update repo did.

I think the problem is that my update script was still installing
centos-release-cr-5.6 (the URL was hardwired, as I couldn't think of a simple
way to get the correct one). The script also installs the CR repo prior to the
update and uninstalls it afterwards, since I wasn't sure if the CR repo would
continue to exist when 5.7 was released (the CR wiki page [1] says "The
repository will go-away once the packages are released via the regular process").

However, it seems that the CR repo is still there, and a centos-release-5.7
upgrade is available through it.

Is it safe/advisable to leave the CR repo installed in-perpetuity? Or do I need
to remove it after using it, if I want to prevent potential yum-upgrade errors
if it does go away?

Shouldn't some of these packages be mutually exclusive? Note this
system was originally installed with Centos 5. I'm not sure why I have
an epel-release-5-4 package installed. I did not have any problems with
the upgrade.

aspen> rpm -qa | grep -i release
epel-release-5-4
centos-release-notes-5.7-0
centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1
centos-release-5-7.el5.centos

Hi Karanbir,

I don't have anything special in my setup I can think of, that would
enable caching or timeouts... I am not behind a proxy, I have direct
access to the Internet, so nothing cached on a proxy.
I only enabled EPEL and Dell Open Manage repository, but I think it is
fairly common.

So the only thing I can imagine is a stale repond.xml on the mirror,
distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr... Notice that I am on the jussieu
university network, so on the same "LAN" than the mirror (even if there
are VLANs...).

Alain
