I noticed today I cannot yum install any packages from epel 7.
I see lots of errors like:
http://fedora.westmancom.com/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/6201e922dac4ba1b5b44be23...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found http://mirror.clarkson.edu/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/6201e922dac4ba1b5b44be2339...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
Is there a problem with epel 7 and all the mirrors? Or could this be a local problem.
This started after I ran
yum clean all
Thanks,

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.

Ok. I'll certainly try to run the script tomorrow at work to try to give some feedback about the problem.
I noticed fedora 22 had a similar issue at home today after I left work. After a fresh install. [root@localhost ~]# dnf -y update Fedora 22 - x86_64 373 kB/s | 41 MB 01:52

It didn't recover on its own. Eventually dnf gave up.
When I tried dnf update again it also had many failures but "some of them" were ok so dnf is updating now. Not sure if its related but wanted to mention it in case it is.
Can I rebuild python-request-ftp from source on RHEL 6/7 from the fedora 22 SRPM?
Thanks for the explanation about what is going on with EPEL mirrors.
Ok, To follow up on the script output.
master-out.txt: http://fpaste.org/238632/14357897/
mirror-out.txt: http://fpaste.org/238633/57898001/
I guess it needs to be run when yum is not working with any of the mirrors... EPEL 7 seems fine today while doing a fresh install.
If I notice a problem again I will try running this script and letting you guys know and the output.
Thanks,

Well if you have a run where it works and then a run where it doesn't, it may show something we need.

Is there a problem with epel 7 and all the mirrors? Or could this be a local problem.
So there is a window in time when new updates have been published to the mirrors but the mirrormanager crawler has not gotten that information yet. We are working on getting that window smaller, but at the moment it is causing problems with EPEL. [EPEL consumers are the largest customer of mirrormanager so it shows up the most here.]
