Would it be possible for somebody to remove it from the Fedora mirror list
until it is fixed then?
(Sorry for the incorrect quoting/top-posting of this e-mail; I'm forced to
use Outlook/Exchange for my work email).
Cheers,
David

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.

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/x
86_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&a...
y=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 help(a)mirrorservice.org onto this e-mail since it is their
mirror which is currently giving out incorrect info.
