If you look at the logs, there is no difference in the url's. On the problem client, I get the error in the mail subject, and on the working client, the package downloads without a problem.
And retrying a couple hours later, the problem client was able to reinstall with no problems. It just doesn't make any sense. The only thing I can find of suspicion is the metadata_expire option in the yum.conf . However, using the "yum clean metadata" command should expire it immediately. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Wed Nov 25 18:51:33 2009 Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found No, it's a yum error on the client side. And I "tail -f"ed those two logs and didn't see anything. I also set the yum debug level to 10 which didn't give me anything useful. I do however see this in the server-side http access log when I "yum install" the package from a problem client: ip_address - - [25/Nov/2009:18:35:24 -0500] "GET https://myspacewalkurl/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/rhel-x86_64-server-rhntools-5/getPackage/osad-5.9.10-5.el5sat.noarch.rpm HTTP/1.1" 404 9 And then I can "yum install" the same package from a working client and I get: ip_address - - [25/Nov/2009:18:37:45 -0500] "GET https://myspacewalkurl/XMLRPC/GET-REQ/rhel-x86_64-server-rhntools-5/getPackage/osad-5.9.10-5.el5sat.noarch.rpm HTTP/1.1" 200 96475 ________________________________________ From: Colin Coe [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 4:59 PM To: Mullis, Josh (CCI-Atlanta) Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Thats in /var/log/httpd/error_log, right?
