Bug ID: 1187077 Summary: Fedora:latest docker image yum won't update Product: Fedora Version: 21 Component: docker-io Assignee: lsm5@redhat.com Reporter: cyborg101010@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: adimania@gmail.com, admiller@redhat.com, golang@lists.fedoraproject.org, hushan.jia@gmail.com, jchaloup@redhat.com, jperrin@centos.org, lsm5@redhat.com, mattdm@redhat.com, mgoldman@redhat.com, miminar@redhat.com, s@shk.io, thrcka@redhat.com, vbatts@redhat.com
Description of problem: I cannot install from or update yum inside Docker.
RUN yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel tar wget ---> Running in 04cdfe47b7ac
One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 21 - x86_64), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable fedora
4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=fedora.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/21/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Docker 1.4.1 Fedora:latest
How reproducible: Seems rare, but I can find others with the issue (e.g. https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/fedora/ see comment from crackcomm)
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take any examples https://github.com/fedora-cloud/Fedora-Dockerfiles 2. docker build an example 3. Wait for yum update / install
Actual results: Yum errors and exits.
Expected results: Yum update / install
