Yum installation fails with RHEL 6.5

Question

I am trying to install shibboleth SP package using YUM installation (Yum install shibboleth). I am getting the following error while installing.

What could be cause of this issue?. I installed it using the same commands in some other machines(It worked fine).

Solution 1

Finally I identified the issue.

The mirror which is contacted by my machine is not containing the files requested.

So changing the base URL/Mirror list in the repository configuration is solved the issue.

Solution 2

If you get a 404 in your browser, what does it mean? It's the same thing here.

You have cached metadata about this repository that is no longer valid, or you have a network problem reaching the mirror. Start with a yum clean all and try again. If it still fails, start investigating the network stack. (Are you caching a bad DNS record on this host for download.opensuse.org, etc.)

This answer would have been much more useful to me if if you had included how to find out which part of the configuration was broken. As Aaron said, the 404 already tells me that the file is missing.

Thanks, "yum clean all" helped me after 2 hours of searching for answers!
