Created attachment 351407 [details] Output from /usr/bin/yum update". Description of problem: yum update fails Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.23 How reproducible: /usr/bin/yum update Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/yum update 2. 3. Actual results: The first few packages don't actually exist on the mirrors, so yum searches its mirrors, doesn't find the package, and tries to get the next package. Same result for the next few packages so I kill yum. Expected results: packages are updated Additional info: So, for the past few days yum has claimed that: ---> Package alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i586 0:1.0.20-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package dhclient.i586 12:4.1.0-22.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package farsight2.i586 0:0.0.12-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gdb.i586 0:6.8.50.20090302-33.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-common.noarch 0:2.26.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package grubby.i586 0:6.0.87-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gstreamer-plugins-good.i586 0:0.10.15-3.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package lftp.i586 0:3.7.14-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package libcap.i586 0:2.16-4.fc11.1 set to be updated ---> Package libcap-devel.i586 0:2.16-4.fc11.1 set to be updated ---> Package mkinitrd.i586 0:6.0.87-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package nash.i586 0:6.0.87-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package oprofile.i586 0:0.9.4-7.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package oprofile-gui.i586 0:0.9.4-7.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package phonon.i586 0:4.3.1-6.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package phonon-backend-xine.i586 0:4.3.1-6.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package rpm.i586 0:4.7.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-build.i586 0:4.7.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-devel.i586 0:4.7.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-libs.i586 0:4.7.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package rpm-python.i586 0:4.7.0-2.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package selinux-policy.noarch 0:3.6.12-62.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 0:3.6.12-62.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package unique.i586 0:1.0.8-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package webkitgtk.i586 0:1.1.8-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package xfsprogs.i586 0:3.0.1-6.fc11 set to be updated but of the files mentioned above, these: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i586 0:1.0.20-2.fc11 dhclient.i586 12:4.1.0-22.fc11 farsight2.i586 0:0.0.12-1.fc11 gdb.i586 0:6.8.50.20090302-33.fc11 gnome-common.noarch 0:2.26.0-2.fc11 grubby.i586 0:6.0.87-1.fc11 gstreamer-plugins-good.i586 0:0.10.15-3.fc11 libcap.i586 0:2.16-4.fc11.1 libcap-devel.i586 0:2.16-4.fc11.1 are not on http://ftp.colocall.net/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/ and I suspect they aren't on the other mirrors. Since the first few files in the set to be updated don't actually exist, the impatient (including me for a while) would watch yum try to get those files from umpteen mirrors, fail, then loose patience and kill the yum process. I have successfully updated the packages that do exist, e.g.,: /usr/bin/yum update webkitgtk /usr/bin/yum update oprofile /usr/bin/yum update phonon rpm /usr/bin/yum update selinux-policy etc. I suspect that non-existant files were mistakenly put in yum's update queue, so this may be more of a human error rather than a yum error. Also note I did "/usr/bin/yum clean metadata" and "/usr/bin/yum clean all" to no avail.

Exiting on user cancel I then found espeak on: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/testing/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm which lead me to look for the files yum couldn't find, as noted in a previous entry for this bug. I found in http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/testing/11/i386/ these files: dhclient-4.1.0-22.fc11.i586.rpm farsight2-0.0.12-1.fc11.i586.rpm gnome-common-2.26.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm grubby-6.0.87-1.fc11.i586.rpm gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.15-3.fc11.i586.rpm libcap-2.16-4.fc11.1.i586.rpm libcap-devel-2.16-4.fc11.1.i586.rpm so of the nine files that yum couldn't find, as noted in a previous entry for this bug, only: alsa-plugins-pulseaudio farsight2 RPMs seem to be missing, but the seven listed just above are in the /updates/testing/11/i368 tree rather than the /updates/11/i368 tree. I also see that yum is trying a lot of mirrors in Europe, whereas I'm on the east coast of America. I installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror and tried to install espeak again, but that failed again and the mirrors searched were still primarily "far away": [root@phj-r52-laptop2 ~]# /usr/bin/yum install espeak Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * fedora: darkstar.ist.utl.pt * livna: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de * rpmfusion-free: download1.rpmfusion.org * rpmfusion-free-updates: download1.rpmfusion.org * rpmfusion-nonfree: download1.rpmfusion.org * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: download1.rpmfusion.org * updates: fedora.nano-box.net Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package espeak.i586 0:1.40.02-2.fc11 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: espeak i586 1.40.02-2.fc11 updates 693 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 693 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: http://fedora.nano-box.net/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://fedora.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://fedora.uib.no/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://fedora.univ-nantes.fr/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.astral.ro/mirrors/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.crc.dk/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.df.lth.se/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.gui.uva.es/sites/fedora.redhat.com/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.ps.pl/pub/Linux/fedora-linux/updates/11/i386/espeak-1.40.02-2.fc11.i586.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.
