Error importing repomd.xml for LOCAL: Damaged repomd.xml file

HWDPlinux · 03-02-2019, 05:32 PM

Hello I am doing labs with KVM guests, I setup a local repo on the host using an .iso img and the host can use the repo locally but... Trying to download packages with guest from the host I get the error in the title. Created LOCAL repo on host via http server and i setup the guest with only one .repo file, pointing to the host http server. getting this error. not even sure what info I should supply you guys with...

I am able to ping all the IPs that are involved, and the guests can reach out to the internet, but when I try to connect to the host http server via elinks I do not reach the page. Http is open on host and guest firewalls.

Have you had a look at the repomd.xml file on the host?

If it looks OK, I would try to access repomd.xml manually from the guest, using whatever URLs, credentials etc. you have configured on the guest.

Perhaps it turns out that the guest gets the file from a different location that you intend. Perhaps the repomd.xml file is fine, but the guest can't read it (and issues a misleading error message).
