yum update HTTP Error 404: Not found
 

Hi All,

I know this issue has been dealt before, but none of the solution given helped me out. I am trying to do yum update where I am getting following error,

libvolume_id-095-14.33.el5_11.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/libvolume_id-095-14.33.el5_11.x86_64.rpm from centos5-x86_64-updates
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found


I have tried , yum clean all ; yum update (doesnt work)

Can someone help me out by your ideas/solutions please, i have been trying this for hours

Did you just think about the error message??? It's telling you very plainly that the particular website/repo you're trying to reach is DOWN. Either try later, or remove the repository.

Thanks for responding. I have tried again and it shoes same error. I was looking to remove the repo but not sure where I could find one. Below are the repose i have

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
ls
CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Sources.repo dell-omsa-repository.repo spacewalk-client.repo
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo spacewalk-client-nightly.repo zabbix.repo

in terminal issue
and post the results here please.

Thank you.

When I do "yum repolist" , I can see that repo "centos5-x86_64-updates: but not under /etc/yum.repos.d

Great...so did you try reading the man pages on the yum command, or looking this up?? One of the very first hits in Google for "remove yum repository" gives you a command:

Yes i did. May be i am trying in a wrong way.
what i tried is ,
yum --disablerepo=centos5-x86_64-updates

yum --disablerepo="CentOS 5 Updates (x86_64)"

Error getting repository data for CentOS 5 Updates (x86_64), repository not found


Both doesnt work. I doubt i am using improper reponame

update|upgrade | whatever should do it.

And if you find that doesn't solve the problem or it become disabled permanently,
re-enable it using
Good Luck.

Guess syntax needs to be modeified

You need to give some command

Are you behind a proxy?

Figured out. I can see its getting packages from rhn satellite. So went into pluginconf.d and disabled rhnplugin.conf

Good job!

Thanks all for spending your precious time. Appreciate it :)

You are very welcome.
Glad it worked out.
