Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1003032
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates
Last modified: 2014-10-07 19:41:01 EDT
Description of problem: I can't create a F20 LiveCD if I have "updates" repo enabled. I have no idea why, because the URL is correct: $ cat ks/spin-kickstarts/fedora-repo-not-rawhide.ks repo --name=fedora --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch repo --name=updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-$releasever&arch=$basearch #repo --name=updates-testing --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-$releasever&arch=$basearch Which goes to: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f20&arch=x86_64 My spin-kickstarts git is up-to-date, and f20 branch is active. If I comment out "updates" line, I no longer receive the crash. $ sudo livecd-creator -c ks/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --releasever 20 --cache /var/cache/live -f "live-broken" /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/partition.py:309: UserWarning: A partition with the mountpoint / has already been defined. warnings.warn(_("A partition with the mountpoint %s has already been defined.") % pd.mountpoint) lazy umount succeeded on /var/tmp/imgcreate-GUx4oB/install_root//var/cache/yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/livecd-creator", line 237, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/bin/livecd-creator", line 218, in main creator.install() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/creator.py", line 642, in install ayum.setup(yum_conf, self._instroot) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/yuminst.py", line 105, in setup self.doTsSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 129, in doTsSetup return self._getTs() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 137, in _getTs if not remove_only and self._tsInfo.pkgSack is None: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/transactioninfo.py", line 140, in <lambda> pkgSack = property(fget=lambda self: self._getPkgSack(), File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/transactioninfo.py", line 137, in _getPkgSack self._pkgSack = self._pkgSackCtor() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 76, in __call__ return self.ayum.pkgSack File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1050, in <lambda> pkgSack = property(fget=lambda self: self._getSacks(), File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 770, in _getSacks self.repos.populateSack(which=repos) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/repos.py", line 383, in populateSack sack.populate(repo, mdtype, callback, cacheonly) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 224, in populate if self._check_db_version(repo, mydbtype): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 316, in _check_db_version return repo._check_db_version(mdtype) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1480, in _check_db_version repoXML = self.repoXML File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1666, in <lambda> repoXML = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepoXML(), File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1662, in _getRepoXML self._loadRepoXML(text=self.ui_id) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1653, in _loadRepoXML return self._groupLoadRepoXML(text, self._mdpolicy2mdtypes()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1627, in _groupLoadRepoXML if self._commonLoadRepoXML(text): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1452, in _commonLoadRepoXML result = self._getFileRepoXML(local, text) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1230, in _getFileRepoXML size=102400) # setting max size as 100K File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1012, in _getFile result = self.grab.urlgrab(misc.to_utf8(relative), local, File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 693, in <lambda> grab = property(lambda self: self._getgrab()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 688, in _getgrab self._setupGrab() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 627, in _setupGrab urls = self.urls File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 870, in <lambda> urls = property(fget=lambda self: self._geturls(), File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 867, in _geturls self._baseurlSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 833, in _baseurlSetup self.check() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 554, in check 'Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: %s' % self.ui_id yum.Errors.RepoError: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools-20.0-1.fc20.x86_64 Fedora 19 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo livecd-creator -c ks/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --releasever 20 --cache /var/cache/live -f "live-broken"
It is intended that this should work. There is an updates repo out there for f20, though I am just mirroring it now. I'll look at testing the validity of the repo this weekend. Is the system you are running livecd-creator on really f20 (or are you using an f20 mock)?
I'm using F19 with livecd-tools.fc20 installed. No mock.
That's not really going to give you what you want. I expect that you'll end up building the image using f19 packages. However, that doesn't account for the error. I had thought that maybe you were doing it on rawhide and that might have resulted in trying to use a non-existant repo. It is still possible I messed up the updates reference. I did some sort of test with it when I made the change to split out the repo directives to separate files. But maybe it didn't test it properly.
Nevermind about part of that. I just noticed you used the releasever option to set 20 as the release. That should have worked.
It should have worked, I used it the same way in the past (.fc19 package on F18 or .fc18 package on F17). That's what bcl advised me to do, anyway.
There was a missing 'f' in the updates and updates-testing URLs. Changes have been committed to upstream git and packages for f20 and rawhide with the fix (the rawhide changes don't really matter in the short run) are building now.
Oh, I haven't noticed. Thanks. After updating spin-kickstarts from git the problem is gone.
