[SOLVED] Yum error using Spacewalk Repo

vwtech · 02-23-2014, 12:11 AM

On my centos 6 client I get the following error, when I attempt to update wget:

Code:

 Error Downloading Packages:
  wget-1.12-1.11.el6_5.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/wget-1.12-1.11.el6_5.x86_64.rpm from centos6-x86_64
error was [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found"

The channel information is confirmed good and working due to my following test:
-Can access the URL used for the repo with browser
-On the client I created a new .repo test with the URL used in the Spacewalk channel. Doing that allow yum to update without issue.

On the server side:
-Restarted spacewalk services and attempted, from client to install package..failure again.
-Removed the channel, recreated and synced it.
-Removed the client from spacewalk, ran "yum clean all" then joined/registered it again. Still have the issue.

When trying to push package from Spacewalk, process fails:

Code:

Client execution returned "Error while executing packages action: Error Downloading Packages: wget-1.12-1.11.el6_5.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/wget-1.12-1.11.el6_5.x86_64.rpm from centos6-x86_64 error was [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" [[6]]" (code -1)

Not sure what to try-next.

Have you checked if you have any strange proxy variables set?

Have you inspected:

Code:

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

on the spacewalk client?

The directive for Proxy is set to 0; and the other options look normal.

Make sure your iptables and or selinux is disabled..I've had problems in the past with these being enabled and messing up spacewalk communications.

Disabling the firewall and putting SElinux in permissive mode didn't help.

I found that the issue was with SELinux on the server side; when in permissive mode, the client was is able to get install via yum using the channels repo it's assigned to.
Before closing this issue, I'll find if the is a boolen/context setting to apply since I want to keep SELinux active.

Used the selinux troubleshooter (cli):

Code:

sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log > /path/to/my-log-file

Found that apache (httpd) couldn't search the directory where my rpm repo was located.

Needed to set context on the directory that's set as the "rpm repository mount point" on the Spacewalk server.

Code:

semanage fcontext -a -t spacewalk_data_t "/where-you-told-spacewalk-to-store-rpm-repository(/.*)?"
restorecon -R -v /where-you-told-spacewalk-to-store-rpm-repository

Synced that channel repository again, used yum on the client to install a package that wasn't in channel repo before I made the above context updates. Was able to install packages via yum on the client after without issue.
