First problem
-----------------
I'm trying to sync i386 "base" repo for centos 5.3 and cannot find a lot
of packages(about 50%), for example "vixie-cron" or "PyXML"
(r...@sw)-(07:43 AM Tue Apr 14)-(~)
# reposync --arch=i386 --repoid=base -p /var/www/html/pub/CentOS5-i386
-l|grep cron
[base: 210 of 1186 ] Skipping existing CentOS/crontabs-1.10-8.noarch.rpm
but i can see it on remote CentOS base repo(it have 2508 packages).
NOTE: With x86_64 repo i have NO problems.
So, why reposync cannot see about 50% of packages?
When you say it can't find a lot of the packages, do you mean you're seeing the
"Skipping existing..." message for those packages? Because that just means the
package already exists in the local directory you're syncing to.
Third problem
-------------------
When i'm trying to clean yum cache on this client, i got:
# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin
Cleaning up Everything
Error: Error making cache directory: //var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt
error was: [Errno 17] File exists: '//var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt'
Whenever I get this message, I simply remove that timedhosts.txt file. Not sure what the
deal with this is, but removing it doesn't seem to adversely affect anything, and doing a
"yum clean all" after that works. Hopefully being able to clean the cache will
fix your second problem as well.
