From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461) Description of problem: When running up2date on my system, I get the following: Getting headers for available packages... There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: 404: "Not Found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-i386-7.1/getPackageHeader/devfsd-2.4.3-12.i386.hdr It looks to me like a file on your server is missing. This causes the entire up2date system to fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-2.7.11-7.x.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rhn_register 2. Add PGP key to keyring 3. Run "up2date -l" or any other up2date command. Actual Results: Getting headers for available packages... There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: 404: "Not Found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-i386-7.1/getPackageHeader/devfsd-2.4.3-12.i386.hdr Expected Results: It should have listed the packages needed for update. Additional info: It's pretty easy to reproduce. You should be able to verify on your systems.
This was a server side issue. It should be resolved now.
I just reloaded my laptop yesterday with RedHat 7.2 and this error started occuring. I tried upgrading to the newest up2date RPM, but the error is still occuring.
Actually, the issue is back and we know about it. We are working to resolve it right now.
Just FYI, I just loaded 7.2 on a new machine, and ran up2date. Exact same problem as stated above, but with error: "There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: 404: "Not Found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-i386-7.2/getPackageHeader/rhn_register-gnome-2.7.2-7.x.8.i386.hdr"
Hi, Just loaded a new install of 7.2 on a laptop, ran up2date and got a 404 - not found error when getting headers of glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.3.i386.hdr so, up2date fails there... when will the files return?
the glibc 404's were a temporary server side error. Should be fixed now.
I just installed RH 7.2 on a desktop and I got the error. I even updated up2date and I still get it....
Oh, I got this error: " There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: 404: "Not found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-i386-7.2/getPackageHeader/rhn_register-2.7.9-7.x.2.i386.hdr "
Just for future reference for folks reading this bug, anytime you get a 404 error, there is something wrong with the server. If you get a 404, it is a server side error. And it's almost always something new. So in a way, it's probabaly best to open a new bug report. Or just add on it here, I guess it doesnt really hurt anything. Just makes it awfully hard to ever actually close the bug ;-> Just wanted to make the point that this is only kind of the same bug for each of these reports.
Can you please check? This should be fixed by now.
I am getting this error sporatically. Sometimes I get it as soon as I try to connect, other times I get as far as finding all relevant packages, selecting which files to install in the Netscape window and then having it crash. I've not been able to complete the update in about 20 tries in the last 3 hours... I thought it was fixed since the last bug report was over a month ago, but apparently it isn't... Any suggestions?
Since this is a server side error, I need to know specifically what 404's you are getting.
Haven't seen issues like this in quite some time.
I got this on my RH 7.3 system, this is the output: [root@lkpue23 cron.hourly]# up2date -l Retrieving list of all available packages... ######################################## Removing installed packages from list of updates... ######################################## Removing packages marked to skip from list... ######################################## Getting headers for available packages... 404: "Not Found" while attempting to get $RHN/redhat-linux-i386-7.3/getPackageHeader/pam-devel-0.75-46.7.3.i386.hdr So is there some trouble on the server
