I run yum every night using cron. It's worked for years with my current configuration, but last night I received an error: ============================================== /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron: Error getting file http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/updates/centos-3/i386//headers/kernel-source-0-2.4.21-52.EL.i386.hdr [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Error getting file http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/updates/centos-3/i386//headers/kernel-source-0-2.4.21-52.EL.i386.hdr [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found ============================================== Here's my yum.conf file: ============================================== [main] cachedir=/data/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 [duke-base] name=Linux@DUKE Centos $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/base/centos-$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [updates] name=Linux@DUKE Centos $releasever - $basearch - Updates baseurl=http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/updates/centos-$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [duke-distrib] name=Linux@DUKE Freely Distributable add-on packages for Centos $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/add-on/distrib/centos-$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 [duke-nondistrib] name=Linux@DUKE Nondistributable add-on packages for Centos $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/add-on/duke/centos-$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 ============================================== I cleaned all the headers using yum clean headers and then ran yum update: ============================================== [root@fondue ~]# yum clean headers Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Linux@DUKE Centos 3 - i386 - Base Server: Linux@DUKE Freely Distributable add-on packages for Centos 3 - i386 Server: Linux@DUKE Nondistributable add-on packages for Centos 3 - i386 Server: Linux@DUKE Centos 3 - i386 - Updates Finding updated packages Cleaning all headers [root@fondue ~]# yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Linux@DUKE Centos 3 - i386 - Base Server: Linux@DUKE Freely Distributable add-on packages for Centos 3 - i386 Server: Linux@DUKE Nondistributable add-on packages for Centos 3 - i386 Server: Linux@DUKE Centos 3 - i386 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers openoffice.org-0-1.1.2-40 100% |=========================| 99 kB 00:00 cyrus-sasl-0-2.1.15-15.i3 100% |=========================| 6.8 kB 00:00 cyrus-sasl-plain-0-2.1.15 100% |=========================| 4.7 kB 00:00 tzdata-0-2007h-1.el3.noar 100% |=========================| 32 kB 00:00 qt-1-3.1.2-17.RHEL3.i386. 100% |=========================| 9.8 kB 00:00 retrygrab() failed for: http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/updates/centos-3/i386/headers/kernel-source-0-2.4.21-52.EL .i386.hdr Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://install.linux.duke.edu/pub/linux/updates/centos-3/i386/headers/kernel-sour ce-0-2.4.21-52.EL.i386.hdr [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found ====================================================== So, yum is able to get some updates, but not others. I looked around a bit more and found the reference to the kernel-source in my updates/header.info file so assumably that's why it's looking for that particular file. And it seems that the kernel-source file is not on the web site. So, there seems to be a disconnect between the header file and the repository but I don't understand how it happened or what needs to be done to fix it. Any ideas would be welcomed. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
