cobbler reposync looking for non-existent rpms

[Thomas S Hatch]

So, this is a new issue, let me paint the picture:

I have a bunch of puppet code that creates cobbler servers on Fedora 10, up
until a few days ago I had no problems, but now reposync is behaving badly.

when I run cobbler reposync if runs fine for the os_everything repo, but the
fedora 10 updates repo keeps trying to download packages that are not on the
mirror!  and it refuses to download the right packages!  Here are some
errors and info:

[F10_updates: 294   of 6239  ] Downloading
armstrong-devel-0.2.6-4.fc10.x86_64.rpm

Could not retrieve package armstrong-devel-0.2.6-4.fc10.x86_64. Error was

cobbler repo report:

Version     : 1.6.5                             Vendor: Fedora Project
Release     : 1.fc10
.....

rpm -qi yum-utils
Name        : yum-utils                    Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 1.1.19                            Vendor: Fedora Project
Release     : 1.fc10
.....



And then if I check the anl repo, those files are not there!  But in the
case of arora for instance, arora 0.7 is not downloaded.

any ideas? I am stumped!

cobbler is just using reposync from yum-utils here.    There could be a 
number of possibilities, one being that the repodata on anl.gov is just 
/wrong/, that the data is not there yet, or that you have a caching 
proxy in the way (transparent or otherwise) that may be serving up old 
repodata.  

I would try using another mirror to see if you encounter the same problems.

It looks like a combination of things, but I think I may have gotten a
handle on things for now.  If I corner a bug I will report it.  Thanks!
