Passing --setopt=*.skip_if_unavailable=true to the actual yum command appears to work, however setting in yum.conf or using yum-config-manager does not work. Corrected reproduce steps: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run command: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rhel-7-server-openstack-10-tools-debug-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true (or use whatever repo you want) 2. Run something like: yum --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/c8/04823bc571a3a9bf79be0e341048db167eae6b 3. If any one repo cannot be contacted, command will fail with a 404 error, despite if a blanket *.skip_if_unavailable=true or that specific repo is set to skip if unavailable. Hi Joe, could you please confirm that you have the repo "rhel-7-server-openstack-10-tools-debug-rpms" configured in /etc/yum.repos.d/? Because it seem not to be listed in your yum-config-manager output. Seem to be duplicate of bug 1369682 (In reply to Joe Wright from comment #2) > 1. Run command: yum-config-manager --save > --setopt=rhel-7-server-openstack-10-tools-debug-rpms. > skip_if_unavailable=true (or use whatever repo you want) Unless a specific repo is explicitly provided to yum-config-manager, it only affects the enabled repos. In the described scenario the repo is disabled, so you have to provide it explicitly. In other words, the way you're currently supposed to run the command in order to achieve the desired effect is like this: # yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rhel-7-server-openstack-10-tools-debug-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true rhel-7-server-openstack-10-tools-debug-rpms The reason for this behaviour is that users usually have *a lot* of disabled repos (and often they don't even realise it), and matching them all will only spam and confuse the user. That being said, I agree that this is a usability issue and the documentation does not explain the behaviour properly. The way we can improve this is we can go through --setopt's and see if they specify a repo explicitly and act upon that repo even if it is disabled. I would still keep the old behaviour for setopt's with globbing expressions. The documentation can also be improved. I am removing the Regression keyword, as to my knowledge this is not a regression, it has always worked this way. > Passing --setopt=*.skip_if_unavailable=true to the actual yum command appears > to work, however setting in yum.conf or using yum-config-manager does not work. skip_if_unavailable is a per repository option, so setting it in yum.conf (that is, in the [main] section) will not have any effect.
