SSH and Yum don't work in clean CentOS 7

I use Parallels Desktop 10 and have the same problem with my VMs.

But I didn't touch the keyboard. This error occurs using SSH or directly at console.

There is a bug in python-urlgrabber that is used by yum that results in the wrong error being generated. It was noticed during the el7 beta and reported but it appears not to have been fixed. The problem is that the mirror that you are connecting to is interrupting the connection and yum currently sees that as an error and terminates rather than just trying another mirror.

If you don't mind editing files that are meant to be owned by the rpm then you can fix this or at least mitigate its effects. Edit /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py and find line 1510 where it currently says

Code: Select all

            elif errcode in (42, 55, 56):

and change that back to what it was before

Code: Select all

            elif errcode == 42:

Hopefully Redhat will get around to fixing this in 7.1 or in an update to python-urlgrabber prior to that.

Thank you TrevorH.
It worked. I hope updated version of grabber file will be coming soon.
