Description Jared Smith 2011-01-24 21:40:11 UTC

Description of problem:

I've upgraded my machine to rawhide, but the updates-released-f15 repo doesn't exist yet.  I added skip_if_unavailable=1 to the repo definition, but yum doesn't handle it gracefully.

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

yum-3.2.29-2.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:

Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Rawhide
2. Enable the updates repo, but set "skip_if_unavailable=1", as show below
3. Watch yum complain
  
Actual results:

[root@penaltybox yum.repos.d]# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list

No repomd file
Error: File /var/cache/yum/i386/15/updates/metalink.xml does not exist


Expected results:

Yum should skip the unavailable repo

Comment 1 Joshua Wulf 2012-10-19 00:26:01 UTC

It's fixed in yum-3.4.3-29 in F17, but you probably won't get that package for F15 now that's out of support.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:34:34 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
