You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

yum --enablerepo=epel update

This is the third request …

Could you please also paste the output of:

yum repolist -v

When I tried the command line above… I’m getting this message …

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn’t have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work “fix” this:

 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
    upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
    distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
    packages for the previous distribution release still work).

 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
        yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...

 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
    will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
    again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:

        yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
    or
        subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
    Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
    so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
    slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
    compromise:

        yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true

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

Seems the EPEL repo is missing from your server. You can activate it with:

yum install epel-release
7

I tried running “yum install epel-release” … I get a message :
Package epel-release-7-11.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

8

Sorry, my bad.

9

No problem… worth a try… I’m puzzled too…

10

You can try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file to enable the baseurl line (removing the # in front of it).

11

I tried that… also did a ‘yum clean all’ and ‘rm -rf /var/cache/yum’ then do ‘yum update’ … still have the same error.

12

And with:

yum --enablerepo=epel update
13

Thanks…
I ran “yum update --skip-broken” and update the other packages… then re-run ‘yum update’… now I get the following:

Maybe I come back tomorrow and give it another try…

what happens if you paste the baseurl in a browser?

If you are able to connect to the URL posted by Mark, other things you could try:

  • Checking the date and time of the server is correct.
yum --disablerepo=epel update ca-certificates

yum --disablerepo=epel reinstall epel-release

Editing the [epel] section of /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and:

  • Uncommenting the baseurl
  • changing https to http on the mirrortlist line, or uncommenting the mirrorlist line by prepending a #.

Try with yum --enablerepo=epel check-update or
yum --enablerepo=epel update reporting the full command outcome.

Some more options:

17

If I paste above to my browser… I see the package directory…

18

That’s good: DNS can resolve one of the epel mirrors. :grinning:

19

editing /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo to baseurl http://*** and comment off metalink https://****
and ran ‘yum --enablerepo=epel update’ then the update went through ok…

I reset back to normal , commenting off baseurl and set back to metalink https://**** for now…
Thank you for all the comment and help… Truly appreciate you all…
