Description Josh Berkus 2018-12-07 00:20:08 UTC
Description of problem:

No RPMs are available for kernel-devel and kernel-modules for kernel-4.19.5-300.  All attempts to get these rpms will 404.

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

4.19.5-300.fc29.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a new Fedora-Cloud-Base-29 system on AWS
2. Attempt to install the kernel-devel package
3. Get 404 timeout failure

Actual results:

m          

Expected results:

kernel-devel should install.

Additional info:

This affect the Glusterfs kernel modules as well.  Not sure what other modules are affected.

I'm aware that an update to 4.19.6 was released last night, but (for some reason) that's not available for Cloud Base yet.

Comment 1 Josh Berkus 2018-12-07 00:55:55 UTC
Further information:

The actual problem is different: it's that 4.19.6 is not available from a large part of the mirror network.

After trying a number of things, the only way to upgrade to 4.19.6 was to hand-pick an updated mirror and paste it directly into fedora-updates.repo.

Otherwise, I got this:

Comment 2 Josh Berkus 2018-12-07 01:02:44 UTC
To sum up: the problem is that while kernel-4.19.6 is not available on many mirrors, those mirrors have already deleted the 4.19.5 modules and kernel headers.

Comment 3 Laura Abbott 2018-12-07 16:14:00 UTC
This is not an issue with the kernel. This is a Fedora infrastructure issue. In the future please file a ticket at https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issues  for anything related to syncing of RPMs.

Comment 4 Josh Berkus 2018-12-07 17:09:05 UTC
Thanks, filing bug in Pagure.
