I'm not at all sure what might be happening.  You might try deleting
repodata/repomd.xml.asc
repodata/repomd.xml.key
repodata/repomd.xml
repodata/primary.xml.gz
repodata/filelists.xml.gz
repodata/patches.xml

and see what happens.  If that doesn't do it, "bash -x /usr/sbin/yup" might 
provide more clues.

Re: Unknown Error: Downloading metadata failed . . .

2007-08-13 Thread Peter E. Abresch Jr. - at Pepco
The following files in
/var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Updates/sles-10-s390x/repodata were corrupted:

repomd.xml
repomd.xml.asc
repomd.xml.key

Once I realized where the corruption was, I simply deleted these files and
reran the yup process. All is well. E! I spent way too much time for a
problem with such a simple solution. I hope this helps someone else.

Unknown Error: Downloading metadata failed . . .





My Linux YUM file system ran out of space. I added more space and YUP
seems to be working however I am now receiving the following when I try to
apply updates to my YUM server from my YUM server using YOU.

dir:///var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Updates/sles-10-s390x/
Unknown Error: Downloading metadata failed (is YUM source?) or user did
not accept remote source. Aborting refresh

That is the correct directory. How can I correct this? Thanks for any
info.

I'll chime in for Bruce's code as well. Works like a champ. 

If you have VM and VM/VTAM, IMHO, SNAPRSIM is often as good or better
than most of the commercial packages, especially if you combine it with
the LPR support in RSCS or the BSI NJE Bridge and an Linux system to do
post-processing on the output after RSCS transmits the job (the Linux
system can easily do things like IPP support and signature file merges
and forms flash and other fancy stuff that is hard to do elsewhere).
There are things you have to do manually that the commercial packages
automate, but SNAPRSIM gets the job done admirably, and the difference
in price will pay for a LOT of hand-holding (which is fortunately,
rarely needed, or at least no worse than anything involving VTAM needs
hand-holding). You do need HLASM to build and maintain it, but you
needed that to maintain the standalone CP utilities anyway.

Besides, Bruce is a nice guy. His code needs to live on, even if UMD no
longer sees the light on mainframes...

I suggest that you urge your management to buy a package you don't have
to support.  (I still find it hard to believe that CICS and IMS don't
speak TCP/IP for printing.)

If you want to install and support your own, there was a package called
SNAPRSIM written by Bruce Crabill on the 1998 VM Workshop tape.  I found
it
on the web at Fran Hensler's web site: http://zvm.sru.edu/~DOWNLOAD/ .
I
have been using this for several years and support several hundred
printers.
