issue with epel7 for libmspack-0.7

Post by Darshadow » 2018/12/13 11:32:11

Please let me know if I'm on the wrong forum?

I've enable the following epel7 Repo : http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirror ... rch=x86_64 on my system.
This Repo show me that there're a new package available for libmspack package, means the 0.7 as described below:

Code: Select all

# yum update libmspack
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

Is this ok [y/d/N]: y

No Presto metadata available for epel7


Error downloading packages:
  libmspack-0.7-0.1.alpha.el7.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/libmspack-0.7-0.1.alpha.el7.x86_64.rpm from epel7
error was [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found
Unfortunately this Repo saw this package but cannot find it: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

1) Why this Repo doesn't find it? I didn't see it on this http site.
2) If is inaccessible, why repo shows it?
3) I don't understand this failure. Could someone explain me how epel7 Repo are functioning? or some links to read?

Thanks for your support
Regards,
D.

Well, you appear to be running RHEL and not CentOS, Red Hat have their own support channels. However, I'd try

Code: Select all

yum clean all
and then retry your command.

Your repo config is somehow wrong. Remove the .repo file you created for this and install the epel-release package as described in the quickstart.

In fact, libmspack should not be in EPEL at all, because it's already in CentOS. Maybe it has been removed from the EPEL repos somehow.

Thanks for your quick reply.
On my test system when I use the epel-release package from your link, I see only the libmspacl 0.5 from CentOS-7 - Base and it is fine.
But on the other hand on the prod system, I saw always this libmspack-0.7 despite I do following:

Code: Select all

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum
Are the metadata in that way removed ? or should I to do something else?

Maybe that epel7 repo of yours points to a local mirror that still has the file? libmspack 0.7 has been in EPEL at some point, but it might be removed now.
