I've set up a cobbler machine with the fc17 DVD distro. I also need a handful of additional RPMs that are only in the Everything repo, not in the DVD image. So I tried defining a repo with a list of RPMs to sync. I've tried several flavors of the yum repo URL: 1. http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/Everything/i386/os 2. http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/17/Everything/i386/os/ 3. miscellaneous specific mirror server hosts (not ideal)
When I do a cobbler reposync, a variety of 404 errors occur, presumably because the mirrors are out of sync with each other. It also looks like since my cobbler is x86_64, downloading i386 RPMs is perhaps messing up or maybe yumdownloader just grabs all architectures? Can someone recommend the right way to do this other than manually running yumdownloader myself and creating my own local repo and then reposyncing that? I've been there and done that but was hoping to get to a more automated way of keeping the add-ons up to date. Here's a snippet: [root@fc17vm aprsdigi]# cobbler reposync task started: 2012-09-18_142342_reposync task started (id=Reposync, time=Tue Sep 18 14:23:42 2012) hello, reposync run, reposync, run! creating: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/fc17-addon-i386/.origin/fc17-addon-i386.repo running: /usr/bin/yumdownloader --resolve --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fc17-addon-i386 -c /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/fc17-addon-i386/.origin/fc17-addon-i386.repo --destdir=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/fc17-addon-i386 alsa-lib alsa-lib-devel aprsd audiofile ax25-apps ax25-tools ax25-tools-docs ax25-tools-x libax25 libax25-devel soundmodem soundmodem-devel yum-updatesd received on stdout: --> Running transaction check ---> Package alsa-lib.i686 0:1.0.25-3.fc17 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: librt.so.1(GLIBC_2.2) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: librt.so.1 for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.1) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libpthread.so.0 for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libm.so.6 for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.3.1) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libgcc_s.so.1 for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libdl.so.2 for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7) for package: alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686 ---> Package alsa-lib.x86_64 0:1.0.25-3.fc17 will be reinstalled ---> Package alsa-lib-devel.i686 0:1.0.25-3.fc17 will be installed ---> Package alsa-lib-devel.x86_64 0:1.0.25-3.fc17 will be installed ---> Package aprsd.x86_64 0:2.2.5-15.6.fc17.3 will be installed ---> Package audiofile.i686 1:0.2.7-3.fc17 will be installed ---> Package audiofile.x86_64 1:0.2.7-3.fc17 will be installed ---> Package ax25-apps.x86_64 0:0.0.6-9.fc17 will be installed ---> Package ax25-tools.x86_64 0:0.0.10-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be installed ---> Package ax25-tools-docs.x86_64 0:0.0.10-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be installed ---> Package ax25-tools-x.x86_64 0:0.0.10-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be installed ---> Package libax25.i686 0:0.0.12-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be installed ---> Package libax25.x86_64 0:0.0.12-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be reinstalled ---> Package libax25-devel.i686 0:0.0.12-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be installed ---> Package libax25-devel.x86_64 0:0.0.12-0.3.rc2.fc17 will be reinstalled ---> Package soundmodem.x86_64 0:0.15-4.fc17 will be installed ---> Package soundmodem-devel.i686 0:0.15-4.fc17 will be installed ---> Package soundmodem-devel.x86_64 0:0.15-4.fc17 will be installed ---> Package yum-updatesd.noarch 1:0.9-11.fc17 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: gamin-python for package: 1:yum-updatesd-0.9-11.fc17.noarch --> Running transaction check ---> Package gamin-python.x86_64 0:0.1.10-12.fc17 will be installed ---> Package glibc.i686 0:2.15-37.fc17 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.15-37.fc17 for package: glibc-2.15-37.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libfreebl3.so(NSSRAWHASH_3.12.3) for package: glibc-2.15-37.fc17.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libfreebl3.so for package: glibc-2.15-37.fc17.i686 ---> Package libgcc.i686 0:4.7.0-5.fc17 will be installed --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc.i686 0:2.15-37.fc17 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.15-37.fc17 for package: glibc-2.15-37.fc17.i686 ---> Package nss-softokn-freebl.i686 0:3.13.4-2.fc17 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/Everything/i386/os/Packages/a/alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://mirrors.servercentral.net/fedora/releases/17/Everything/i386/os/Packages/a/alsa-lib-1.0.25-3.fc17.x86_64.rpm Trying other mirror.
