Description Jan Hutař 2011-05-31 07:22:48 UTC

Description of problem:
When yum knew about some (RHN) channel before and then I removed that channel from it's (RHN) profile, `yum repolist` fails on that system even after `yum clean all`.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.22-33.el5
yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.4-20.el5


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # yum repolist / upgrade /...
2. Remove one channel from RHN profile
3. # yum clean all
4. # yum repolist


Actual results:
# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
file://var/cache/yum/redhat-rhn-satellite-5.3-server-x86_64-5/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cache/yum/redhat-rhn-satellite-5.3-server-x86_64-5/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: redhat-rhn-satellite-5.3-server-x86_64-5. Please verify its path and try again


Expected results:
This should work without need to run `rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*`.

I can confirm it. And I'm able to reproduce it.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2011-06-01 15:00:41 UTC

Hmm subsequent run of yum repolist, succeed. I suppose that /var/cache/yum/rhnplugin.repos will be in fault...
