Official mirror returning invalid repomd.xml file
yum update
fails intermittently on some Amazon Linux servers with a fresh cache with the following error requested datatype primary not available
. The problem is limited to servers in Australia.
I've narrowed the problem down to certain servers that are given https://mirror.realcompute.io/epel/6/x86_64/
as the first result when they query http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
for their mirror list. Looking further, this mirror seems to be returning html when metadata is pulled from https://mirror.realcompute.io/epel/6/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
to generate /var/cache/yum/x86_64/latest/epel/repomd.xml
.
Should this mirror be temporarily disabled from the fedoraproject mirror list? If so, where can I file an issue to have this removed?
Also, is there a way to ignore this mirror in the meantime?
Running yum clean all
works as a temporary solution, but I would rather avoid the problem altogether if possible.
