RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Olivier BONHOMME 2017-06-21 15:04:11 UTC 
When using the tool repotrack for fetching some RPMS provided on a repository reachable in file mode (file:///), the download fails with the error file:///<XXXXX>/GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm: [Errno -1] Package does not match 
intended download.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.4.3-150.el7

How reproducible: Configure yum.conf with a repository with an URI starting by file:/// and try to fetch a RPM with the repotrack command.

Actual results: The download fails with the following stack trace !

Downloading GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/repotrack", line 256, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/repotrack", line 250, in main
    path = repo.getPackage(pkg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1070, in getPackage
    **kwargs
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1037, in _getFile
    raise e
yum.Errors.NoMoreMirrorsRepoError: failure: GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm from cots: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
file:///<XXXXX>/GeoIP-1.4.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download.


Expected results:

The RPM and all its dependencies are downloading successfully.

Additional info: I viewed the yum code and the errors seems to be into the yumRepo.py file when URLGrabber is called. The copy_local parameter is missing whereas it is used on all others calls.

Patching that call adding copy_local parameter with value 1 resolves the issue.
