Yesterday I tried not with a new install but with a more up to date server and it worked:

history info

On a clean install of 7.6.1810 (final), running this as first command I’m getting:

# yum update nethserver-subscription

Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again

Did some ping tests, and it’s able to reach Internet. Running yum update afterwards, the error is gone:

# yum update

But installing updates end up with same error you reported:

Some delta RPMs failed to download or rebuild. Retrying..
nethserver-subscription-3.3.2- FAILED

Error downloading packages:
  nethserver-subscription-ui-3.3.2-1.ns7.noarch: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
  nethserver-subscription-3.3.2-1.ns7.noarch: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

So the problem seems to be with deltarpms:

# yum --setopt=deltarpm=0 update nethserver-subscription

Updated:
  nethserver-subscription.noarch 0:3.3.2-1.ns7                                                           

Dependency Updated:
  nethserver-subscription-ui.noarch 0:3.3.2-1.ns7                                                        

Complete!

The difference might be from which package version it is updating from. Unfortunately, I didn’t record that info on the new install (already deleted).
