CentOS - Yum doesn't update anymore?
14,914
First of all, thanks to SnakeDoc for the help, I was feeling hopeless with this error. Second, I found in a forum that by adding http_caching=none to the yum.conf file in /etc/, I managed to fix the problem.
Seems that with "yum clean all" was cleaning, but was retrieving the corrupted metadata from the cache. With this, it'll be okay.

I've been trying to use yum now, but for some reason, not even the search work anymore. I even tried putting packages I already downloaded in the search criteria and is the same.
[root@AMDFX03 Downloads]# yum search glibc Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/metalink | 22 kB 00:00 * base: centos.secrel.com.br * epel: archive.linux.duke.edu * extras: centos.secrel.com.br * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * updates: centos.secrel.com.br adobe-linux-x86_64/primary | 1.2 kB 00:00 http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from adobe-linux-x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
This error always appear no matter what I do. Please, can you tell me how to fix this, or at least how to reset yum's configuration?

SnakeDoc over 11 yearssudo yum clean all might be the trick... i think either your keys are busted or yum database/cache is busted

Xanathos over 11 yearsI tried from the url and also from a file in which I save the contents of the key for CentOS 6. It says: "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host error: mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6: import read failed(2)."

Xanathos over 11 yearsOK, i managed to download the key, but it's the same result. The same error appears. I also put the "clean all" command from yum. u__u

Xanathos over 11 yearsI found the answer. I added http_caching=none to the yum.conf file. Seems the cache was kind of tampered and that's why was reloading corrupted metadata everytime.

LiuYan 刘研 over 11 yearsi encountered the same problem with Fedora 18, i just temporarily disabled the adobe repository (
yum --disablerepo adobe*
or edit it's repository file in/etc/yum.repo.d
), and then everything will be working again. -
