Hello Ludovic, I tried to reproduce your issue but it worked for me as expected. On the other hand setting useNoSSLForPackages=1 turns off not only https but also location aware updates i.e. packages from RHN are provided by a content delivery network (CDN). So I guess you are behind a strict firewall which don't let you to go to CDN but only to RHN. So you probably need to update your firewall settings as described on http://hackingredhat.com/index.php?title=Changes_in_Red_Hat_Network_(RHN)_that_Affect_Yum_and_Up2date_Downloads_in_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_4.8_and_5.4 % Hi all, % % I use Spacewalk 1.6 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 % (Santiago). % % I have 2 problems. % % 1) % On the RHEL 6 (which is subscribe on the RHN), I install the % "spacewalk-repo-1.6-1.el6.noarch.rpm", and when I update with "yum % update", it downloads some rhn* package, then, I have the error % "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml)".
