Yes, odd that that "yum repolist" show the status of the xCAT repos to be "enabled: 0" although in the .repo files it is "enabled=1" Have you tried "yum clean all" ?

At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable <repoid> or subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid> 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64 Also it is strange that "yum repolist" show the status of the xCAT repos to be "enabled: 0" although in the .repo files it is "enabled=1" [root@xcat-comp08 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/xCAT-otherpkgs0.repo [xcat-otherpkgs0] name=xcat-otherpkgs0 baseurl=http://192.168.14.231:80/install/post/otherpkgs/centos7.8/x86_64/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 skip_if_unavailable=True [root@xcat-comp08 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/xCAT-centos7.8-path0.repo [xCAT-centos7.8-path0] name=xCAT-centos7.8-path0 baseurl=http://192.168.14.231:80/install/centos7.8/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 skip_if_unavailable=True On Wed, Dec 29, 2021 at 3:06 AM <aaronhc...@gmail.com> wrote: From the log entry, yum does not appear to be installed.
