elrepo/repomd.xml

Hi

I've been getting these messages from my centos 7 machine several times a day. I have run yum clean all to no avail. Seems someone here is connected to elrepo.

/etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron:

Not using downloaded elrepo/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
Current : Sun Nov 11 07:15:05 2018
Downloaded: Wed Nov 7 23:15:05 2018

What can be done?

Thanks
Jim

Have you considered asking this from the ELRepo folks? Looks like one of their mirrors is outdated.

Done.

Hi
fix appears to be:
Instead of 'yum clean all', you could run:

yum clean expire-cache

This eliminates time records of the metadata.

So far this is working over the last two days.

Well yes, expire-cache is a subset of "all" and may be sufficient in this case. The difference is that using expire-cache saves some bandwidth. However, the root cause of this problem is/was that one of their mirrors was outdated.
