Hi, I'm experiencing problems when trying to install packages from a repository that was created using --split and --outputdir option. The repository was created in this way: createrepo --split -o dir1 dir2 This means that packages are in dir2 and repodata is included in dir1. My repo file is: [repo] name=my repo baseurl=http://whatever/dir1, http://whatever/dir2 enabled=1 Sometimes, the installation goes fine although I get this type of errors: http://whatever/dir2/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. It tries to find the repodata in the directory where there are only packages. Or http://whatever/dir1/package1.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. It tries to get the packages from the place where there's only repodata Sometimes, I get similar errors but the installation crashes: http://whatever/dir2/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. ... http://whatever/dir1/package1.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 138, in main (result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction() File "__init__.py", line 343, in buildTransaction File "depsolve.py", line 216, in resolveDeps File "depsolve.py", line 174, in populateTs File "__init__.py", line 685, in downloadHeader File "repos.py", line 624, in get File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/urlgrabber/mirror.py", line 414, in urlgrab return self._mirror_try(func, url, kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/urlgrabber/mirror.py", line 392, in _mirror_try mirrorchoice = self._get_mirror(gr) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/urlgrabber/mirror.py", line 290, in _get_mirror return gr.mirrors[gr._next] IndexError: list index out of range ending done It seems it's random when the installation succeeds or when it fails. Has anybody a similar repo setup and experienced these problems? Do I need to configure the yum client in a certain special way in this case? I would like yum to know that it should not try to get the repodata from the place where there are only packages. I'm using yum 2.4.3 and createrepo 0.4.11-1.
