Hi All,

I know this issue has been dealt before, but none of the solution given helped me out. I am trying to do yum update where I am getting following error,

libvolume_id-095-14.33.el5_11.x86_64: failed to retrieve getPackage/libvolume_id-095-14.33.el5_11.x86_64.rpm from centos5-x86_64-updates
error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found


I have tried , yum clean all ; yum update (doesnt work)

Can someone help me out by your ideas/solutions please, i have been trying this for hours

Did you just think about the error message??? It's telling you very plainly that the particular website/repo you're trying to reach is DOWN. Either try later, or remove the repository.

Thanks for responding. I have tried again and it shoes same error. I was looking to remove the repo but not sure where I could find one. Below are the repose i have

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
ls
CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Sources.repo dell-omsa-repository.repo spacewalk-client.repo
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo spacewalk-client-nightly.repo zabbix.repo

in terminal issue
and post the results here please.

Thank you.

When I do "yum repolist" , I can see that repo "centos5-x86_64-updates: but not under /etc/yum.repos.d

Great...so did you try reading the man pages on the yum command, or looking this up?? One of the very first hits in Google for "remove yum repository" gives you a command:
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.co...po-repository/

Yes i did. May be i am trying in a wrong way.
what i tried is ,
yum --disablerepo=centos5-x86_64-updates

yum --disablerepo="CentOS 5 Updates (x86_64)"
Loaded plugins: dellsysid, fastestmirror, rhnplugin

Error getting repository data for CentOS 5 Updates (x86_64), repository not found


Both doesnt work. I doubt i am using improper reponame

update|upgrade | whatever should do it.

And if you find that doesn't solve the problem or it become disabled permanently,
re-enable it using
Good Luck.

Guess syntax needs to be modeified

You need to give some command

Are you behind a proxy?

Figured out. I can see its getting packages from rhn satellite. So went into pluginconf.d and disabled rhnplugin.conf

Good job!

Thanks all for spending your precious time. Appreciate it

You are very welcome.
Glad it worked out.
