I finally just did yum update on this box (actually 6.3) and now it is 6.7. During the update it created a CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew file. I renamed my current one and this one to just .repo and now I again get:

I thought updating to 6.7 might fix something, but it didn’t help. Any ideas why it is doing this?
If I go to:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock> <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock>> <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock> <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock>>>
in a browser, it shows a list of repos.
I just noticed on a stock install of 6.7 (from 6.4 doing a test), doing yum update shows this:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
But on the box I just updated it shows:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
So maybe the presto plugin is causing the problem. Anyone else using presto plugin??

That wasn’t it. I disabled presto then both with (and got the following error):
yum update --disableplugin=presto,fast*

Not sure what to try next. Other than my previous fix of not using a mirror list, but a known local repo that works fine for updates.
-wes
Poking around I found:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d and now I see where presto comes from. I noticed in the fastmirror.conf there is a line
hostfile-timedhosts.txt
On my test box it has several lines of hosts with a number.
On the box I’m have yum update issues, it is blank. ??

Hi,
I wasn't sure if I should reply to you as you seem to be doing a pretty
good job of helping your self here :-D.
But jokes aside, can you do a couple of checks?
Firstly, let's make sure this machine actually has a network connection
I've actually seen people spend hours trying to fix issues like yours
only to find they had no outside network connection..
$ ping 8.8.8.8
Do you get a ping response? If not, check network settings. If you do,
move on..
$ ping google.com
Does the domain resolve correctly? If not, check DNS settings. If you
do, move on..
Assuming both of those have worked, can you do the following:
$ mkdir temporary
$ cd temporary
$ wget
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock"
(Don't miss those quotes on the url, they are needed to ensure the &'s
do not confuse BASH/ZSH)
Now, what happened? Did it connect and download correctly? If so do the
following:
$ cat index.html\?release=6\&arch=x86_64\&repo=os\&infra=stock
You should basically get the mirror list:
http://mirrors.coreix.net/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://centos.serverspace.co.uk/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.melbourne.co.uk/sites/ftp.centos.org/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.vooservers.com/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.mhd.uk.as44574.net/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.clouvider.net/CentOS/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirrors.ukfast.co.uk/sites/ftp.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.cov.ukservers.com/centos/6.7/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.as29550.net/mirror.centos.org/6.7/os/x86_64/
With all of the above checks did you get expecting results including
domain resolution, ping response and the mirror list contents?
Kind Regards,
Jake Shipton (JakeMS)

Yes dns works. If I change this file
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
to this:
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
finally something I can check for you
my 6.x machine does not have the trailing &infra=$infra
suggest you remove and try again
baseurl=http://some.mirror.in.my.state/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 <file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6>
it works to do updates (and the other baseurl lines in that file). It fails with the mirror list option.
I have a centos 6.2 box here that is working just fine with updates and it looks very similar to this 6.7 box - updated from 6.3). I even tried going from static IP to dhcp assigned IP but no go.
I just check /var/log/yum.log, but that doesn’t show any errors, just successful updates.
