that second url looks correct. Is it possible for you to post the 
complete trace from yum ?

actually this one should be :
http://vault.centos.org/2.1/updates/

( without the i386 at the end )

 I understand that CentOS-2 has now reached its EOL but we have a

 EOL means there will be no updates. So yum is not going to help you get
 updates that don't exist. Are you sure that the app won't run on newer
 distros, or you just might need a legacy library that isn't installed by
 default on a newer distro?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the response.

The primary reason for our need to have the CentOS-2 mirrors is for
automated installation of packages if needed rather than getting the
latest package updates.

Also, as we have already put the system into production, it would be
best for us to make do with what's in there already.

Regards,
Matt

 what did you have as the baseurl earlier and what have you changed it to
 now ?

Hi Karan,

This is the current /etc/yum.conf:

[r...@odx root]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest

[base]
name=CentOS-2 base
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/i386/CentOS/
;baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/2.1/final/i386/CentOS/

[updates]
name=CentOS-2 updates
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates/
;baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/2.1/updates/i386/

;[extras]
;name=CentOS-2 extras
;baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/extras/

Note that I have reverted the URLs back to their default, the
commented lines are what I tried earlier to be able to use the
archived CentOS-2 mirrors.

[CentOS] Using yum with CentOS-2 mirrors

2009-09-24 Thread Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists)
Hi all,

I was having yum errors while updating our CentOS-2 box. Further
reading lead me to a readme file on the mirrors
(http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/readme.txt) and it gave me the new
URL to use for CentOS-2 mirrors. I have edited /etc/yum.conf with the
new URLs but I'm still having issues with yum giving me ValueError:
unpack list of wrong size errors.

Has anyone been able to update their yum configuration to be still
able to use yum? How were you able to configure it?

I understand that CentOS-2 has now reached its EOL but we have a
legacy application that won't run on newer distros.
