Hello, Thank you very much indeed - removing the mirror has fixed the problem for now (after I run yum clean all anyway!).
I just hope all our workstations's cache clears/updates soon enough automatically :) Cheers, David ________________________________________ From: epel-devel-list-boun...@redhat.com [epel-devel-list-boun...@redhat.com] on behalf of Nick Bebout [n...@fedoraproject.org] Sent: 27 October 2011 17:15 To: EPEL development disccusion Cc: epel-devel-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Important: Broken EPEL mirror breaking EPEL in UK - "mirrorservice.org" I have marked it as not "admin_active" so it should disappear from mirror lists shortly. I'll try to remember to check on it and I will email the mirror's admins when I get hometonight, but if anyone notices it being fixed, please let me or another mirrormanager admin know so we can reenable it.

The yum configuration (as set by epel-release rpm) uses mirrors.fedoraproject.org<http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org> to generate mirrors to use, which right now are: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x 86_64/ http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel/5/x86_64/ http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/epel/5/x86_64/ http://mirrors.coreix.net/fedora-epel/5/x86_64/ You can view this list anywhere in the world like so: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=x86_64&countr y=gb The bottom four mirrors all seem to be correct, but the first mirror (mirrorservice.org<http://mirrorservice.org>) is broken, its repomd.xml file refers to files which are not on the mirror (or in fact on any of the mirrors!). Can somebody either remove the mirrorservice.org<http://mirrorservice.org> mirror ASAP from the generator on mirrors.fedoraproject.org<http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org> system, or fix the mirror. The one broken mirror appears to in effect break EPEL altogether in the UK because as soon as yum caches the repomd.xml file from the first mirror (mirroservice.org<http://mirroservice.org>) it then continues to look for the invalid/non-existent SQLite file which doesn't exist on all of the other mirrors - because it's using the repomd.xml file from the first mirror. Right now that means all our server and desktop builds are broken and our customers are reporting that their desktops tell them that the system is not receiving updates. I've cc'ed in h...@mirrorservice.org<mailto:h...@mirrorservice.org> onto this e-mail since it is their mirror which is currently giving out incorrect info.
