Description of problem: Can't install Spacewalk 1.9 on Fedora 17. jpackage.org repository does not seem to be available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Spacewalk 1.9 Fedora 17 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow steps in https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall 2. Add jpackage repository with cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage-generic.repo << EOF [jpackage-generic] name=JPackage generic #baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/ mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc EOF 3. yum install spacewalk-setup-embedded-postgresql Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0 error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: www.jpackage.org; Name or service not known" spacewalk | 2.1 kB 00:00 updates/17/x86_64/metalink | 17 kB 00:00 updates | 4.4 kB 00:00 be46f9da28afca00a3d95164f43a2a FAILED curl#22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/updates/17/x86_64/repodata/be46f9da28afca00a3d95164f43a2a2d3ee1e38b6d9a17fcf0808a2ca8524eb1-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] curl#22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror. updates/primary_db | 8.1 MB 00:04 Package spacewalk-setup-embedded-postgresql-1.9.1-1.fc17.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do 4. yum install spacewalk-postgresql gets ...

If you Google www.jpackage.org and look at the repository, it says the following, and you can see what was on that page as of Apr 3: This is Google's cache of http://www.jpackage.org/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Apr 3, 2013 18:23:35 GMT.

2. above really looks like this: [root@athlonz yum.repos.d]# cat jpackage-generic.repo [jpackage-generic] name=JPackage generic #baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/ mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc The formatting in the submission is a little off. I also tried: [root@athlonz yum.repos.d]# cat jpackage-generic.repo [jpackage-generic] name=JPackage generic baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/ #mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist.php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc Same results.

(In reply to comment #1) > > [root@athlonz yum.repos.d]# cat jpackage-generic.repo > [jpackage-generic] > name=JPackage generic > baseurl=http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/pub/jpackage/5.0/generic/free/ > #mirrorlist=http://www.jpackage.org/mirrorlist. > php?dist=generic&type=free&release=5.0 > enabled=1 > gpgcheck=1 > gpgkey=http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc You still reference the key here. You can set gpgcheck=0 or grab a cached version of this URL from Google, put it to local file, and point gpgkey to it. I hope the issue is transient, so I'm not updating the HowToInstall page just now. If the problem persists, we will likely put the jpackage.asc to Spacewalk wiki and point the baseurl to the mirror to keep installations running.
The www.jpackage.org site is back.
