Hi there, I just installed a new server with NethServer and bought a subscription, but after I installed the subscription module, yum doesn’t work anymore, therefor even the software center in neth server doesn’t function.
The web interface provides the following error “The install/update may have failed due to metadata caching issues. Please clean the cache by clicking the button below and retry the install/update operation.”
Of course this doesn’t work or resolve the issue. Below is the full message error when attempting to update via SSH.
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 find a valid baseurl for repo: sb-base/x86_64
I started from 7.4 ISO, which I successfully setup a different installation using the same USB a few weeks ago.
I did not intentionally install the beta but it appears to have done so… I have not ran updates or enabled automatic updates. The only thing I’ve done is install subscription module, but it seemed like this caused things to update somehow… I’m quite frustrating trying to meet a work dead line.
Same problem here. After installing a subscription and update with stayable repo I get same yum error.
