Description Lubomir Rintel 2015-05-08 10:56:17 UTC

Description of problem:

# dnf -y install inkscape-table.noarch
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates-testing' from 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-testing-f22&arch=x86_64': Cannot download repomd.xml: Curl error (56): Failure when receiving data from the peer for http://fedora.mirror.lstn.net/updates/testing/22/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml [Recv failure: Connection reset by peer]

The request times out after a couple of minutes:

$ curl http://fedora.mirror.lstn.net/updates/testing/22/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
 curl: (7) Failed to connect to fedora.mirror.lstn.net port 80: Connection timed out

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf-0.6.5-1.fc22.noarch

Additional info:

This bug has potential security implications: a defective mirror can effectively cut me from getting updates.

Comment 1 Lubomir Rintel 2015-05-08 11:02:19 UTC

Yum deals with that properly:

Trying other mirror.

not sure if this is related to bug 1219283

Comment 3 Tomas Mlcoch 2015-05-13 13:31:38 UTC

Hi Sami, which version of librepo and curl do you have installed?
$ rpm -q librepo curl

Comment 4 Tomas Mlcoch 2015-05-25 10:18:58 UTC

Fixed in upstream:
https://github.com/Tojaj/librepo/commit/62b44957d1cb9e08e0d2bbdef910ee8d7e53633d

This fix causes that CURLE_RECV_ERROR and CURLE_SEND_ERROR won't be considered as fatal failures and won't abort downloading.
