Hi Howard, I'm pretty confused too on what has been done and not done.
However, going off the errors above (the "Cannot retrieve repository metadata") I did find this article https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/39598 (sorry for being behind regwall, free registration though) - one of its suggestions is to (a) disable all 3rd party/custom repo's then (b) run 'yum clean all' and then (c) enable the previously disabled repo's one by one. I think we have attempted (a) and (c) but I'm not sure we have tried step (b) in between. - Wesley On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 3:09 PM, Howard White <[email protected]> wrote: > On 01/03/2014 02:59 PM, Howard White wrote: > >> On 01/03/2014 02:50 PM, Sabuj Pattanayek wrote: >> >>> ok, that's it!
