Can I ignore such error?

Support

Since a few days I get the following error message on one (!) of my servers

/etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron:
 
Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64&infra=stock&content=centos error was
12: Timeout on https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64&infra=stock&content=centos: (28, 'Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received')

How to deal with?

Sincerely, Marko

Did you already try to clear the yum cache?

yes I did it.

Maybe it helps to clear the cache manually:

rm -rf /var/cache/yum

Does

yum update

work without errors? If yes, I think the error can be ignored.
