Greetings all, I am having a problem when I use cobbler 2.4.0 builtfrom the latest 'git pull'. Here is the version information: [root@cobbler1 .origin]# cobbler --version Cobbler 2.4.0 source: 096fc17, Sat May 25 12:34:39 2013 -0500 build time: Sat May 25 13:50:50 2013 The problem began yesterday (May 24) after an earlier 'git pull', 'make webtest'. It has been a long time since I've worked with cobbler -- but yesterday I wanted to see about installing a distro to another computer. I reasoned I had better get my cobbler repos up to date and synced. My attempts to 'cobbler reposync' fail. I did another 'git pull'and 'make webtest' just now. This is my latest error output from 'cobbler reposync': --------------------------------------------------------- received on stderr: running: /usr/bin/wget -q http://mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/releases/17/Everything/x86_64/os//repo... -O /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/f17-x86_64-everything/.origin/repomd.xml received on stdout: received on stderr: Exception occured: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoMDError'> Exception value: Damaged repomd.xml file Exception Info: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", line 125, in run self.sync(repo) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", line 169, in sync return self.yum_sync(repo) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", line 430, in yum_sync os.path.walk(dest_path, self.createrepo_walker, repo) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 228, in walk func(arg, top, names) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", line 192, in createrepo_walker rmd = yum.repoMDObject.RepoMD('', "%s/.origin/repomd.xml" % (dirname)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/repoMDObject.py", line 124, in __init__ self.parse(srcfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/repoMDObject.py", line 170, in parse raise RepoMDError, "Damaged repomd.xml file" reposync failed, tries left: 0 Exception occured: <class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'> Exception value: 'reposync failed, retry limit reached, aborting' Exception Info: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 129, in die raise CX(msg) Exception occured: <class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'> Exception value: 'reposync failed, retry limit reached, aborting' Exception Info: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/remote.py", line 89, in run rc = self._run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/remote.py", line 251, in runner name=None, nofail=nofail, logger=self.logger) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 808, in reposync return reposync.run(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", line 147, in run utils.die(self.logger,"reposync failed, retry limit reached, aborting") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 137, in die raise CX(msg) !!!
