Hi Sebastien, The problem is I've found no consistent trigger for the bug. I have 225 packages in my repository, built out for two different branches and two oses (so 225x4). createrepo just randomly corrupts when executing 'createrepo --update .' when adding a new source/binary rpm pair. It is trivially solvable (rm -rf repodata .repodata; createrepo .), but having to briefly have a 100% repo outage is the problem.
I've not seen anything specific about the packages that would cause this to occur. It seems to be some type of race condition during the update process, because of it complaining about " I/O error : No such file or directory". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxml2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375637 Title: Premature end of data in tag file line 247651 with libxml2 Status in libxml2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, I'm getting the following behaviour of createrepo on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with libxml2=2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.3(trusty-updates/main) and libxml2=2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4(trusty/main). createrepo -g /home/jenkins/workspace/tmp/fuel_5_1_mirror/local_mirror/centos/os/x86_64/comps.xml \ -o /home/jenkins/workspace/tmp/fuel_5_1_mirror/local_mirror/centos/os/x86_64/ /home/jenkins/workspace/tmp/fuel_5_1_mirror/local_mirror/centos/os/x86_64/ I/O error : No such file or directory (process:29830): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
