Hello,
Nearly all of our RHEL4/5/6 desktops and workstations at the University of
Southampton use the EPEL repository (via the epel-release rpm). For the past
few days the mirrorservice.org mirror appear to be broken, generating errors
like these on RHEL:
I noticed this too. I logged a bug report on their site but have heard
nothing from them.

[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
The yum configuration (as set by epel-release rpm) uses
mirrors.fedoraproject.org to generate mirrors to use, which right now are:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/
http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel/5/x86_64/
http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/epel/5/x86_64/
http://mirrors.coreix.net/fedora-epel/5/x86_64/
You can view this list anywhere in the world like so:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=x86_64&country=gb
The bottom four mirrors all seem to be correct, but the first mirror
(mirrorservice.org) is broken, its repomd.xml file refers to files which are
not on the mirror (or in fact on any of the mirrors!).
Can somebody either remove the mirrorservice.org mirror ASAP from the generator
on mirrors.fedoraproject.org system, or fix the mirror. The one broken mirror
appears to in effect break EPEL altogether in the UK because as soon as yum
caches the repomd.xml file from the first mirror (mirroservice.org) it then
continues to look for the invalid/non-existent SQLite file which doesn't exist
on all of the other mirrors - because it's using the repomd.xml file from the
first mirror. Right now that means all our server and desktop builds are broken
and our customers are reporting that their desktops tell them that the system
is not receiving updates.
I've cc'ed in [email protected] onto this e-mail since it is their mirror
which is currently giving out incorrect info.
