Comment 2 Máirín Duffy 2007-05-23 19:46:29 UTC

Attempts to install packages from custom RHEL 5-based channels with packages
stored on an RHN Proxy result in an error message that includes the following:

"Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository"

From jbowes: Generating the repomd files for rhel 5 reads package path from the
database to determine the rpm's file name. this value is empty for custom
channels with packages stored by a proxy. In this case, repomd generation should
fall back to what the proxy does, and build a best-guess for the file name based
on package
NEVRA.
