it's a repeating problem with the Fedora infrastructure and by far only hits
EPEL, somtimes YUM resloves deps, downloads 3 pckages, a 404, pretends it
tries another mirror and stops
repeating "yum upgrade" will download the next package, stops again, repeat
it often enough and the updates suceeds
OK we have been seeing reports of this problem but never enough data
to pin down what of many problems it could be. Patrick Uiterwijk has
written a script which if people could check and run it will help us
greatly. The code is at
https://github.com/puiterwijk/check_metalink
and looks to require the python-request-ftp module which isn't in EPEL
but is in Fedora 21->22 [This is mainly to check ftp hosts.. if you
only care about http.. don't worry]
On EL-6, EL-7 systems:
sudo yum install python-virtualenv
virtualenv venv; source venv/bin/activate; pip install requests requests-ftp
mkdir home
cd home
git clone git@github.com:puiterwijk/check_metalink.git
cd check_metalink
On Fedora-21+ systems:
git clone git@github.com:puiterwijk/check_metalink.git
cd check_metalink
python ./check_metalink -v -v -v --repo=epel-7 --arch=x86_64
--check-master &> master-out.txt
python ./check_metalink -v -v -v --repo=epel-7 --arch=x86_64
--check-mirrors &> mirror-out.txt
The output should help us figure out why we aren't seeing these
problems in some environments but others are seeing it a lot.
