I have marked it as not "admin_active" so it should disappear from mirror lists
shortly.
I'll try to remember to check on it and I will email the mirror's admins when I
get home tonight, but if anyone notices it being fixed, please let me or another
mirrormanager admin know so we can reenable it.

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.
