Upgrade from 5.4.13 to 5.6.12 unsuccessful

[scottwilkerson]

Someone must have removed the repo file but left the package there....

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
yum remove epel-release -y
yum -y localinstall epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

[Dave Ryan]

Thanks, that looks like it took. Log attached.

[scottwilkerson]

Ok, now lets try to continue with the upgrade

[Dave Ryan]

Sounds good. I'll attempt the upgrade again this afternoon and respond back. Thanks again for all your help on this.

No problem

It seems like it may have gotten a little further in the upgrade process. However, it still did not complete successfully. It seems it ran out of mirrors to try for shellinabox.

Code: Select all

Error Downloading Packages:
  shellinabox-2.14-27.git88822c1.el6.x86_64: failure: shellinabox-2.14-27.git88822c1.el6.x86_64.rpm from epel: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Log attached.

Thanks,

Can you run the following and try again

Code: Select all

yum clean all

If you get the same error, can you show the output of

Code: Select all

yum info shellinabox

[Dave Ryan]

Unfortunately after running "yum clean all" the upgrade did not get very far. Log attached.

Code: Select all

[root@bktsfnoc01 nagiosxi]# yum info shellinabox

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

Thanks,

This is very bizarre, can you port the output of the following

Code: Select all

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

[Dave Ryan]

No problem, here it is:

Code: Select all

[root@bktsfnoc01 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
