yum installation manager not working in centos 6.6


I'm facing a problem with yum installation manager in centos 6.6

root@mmopuru:~ # cat /etc/*release
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

root@mmopuru:~ # uname -a
Linux mmopuru.puppetlabs.vm 2.6.32-504.el6.i686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 15 03:02:07 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Its throwing following err. I tried clean all but no use.

root@mmopuru:~ # yum install python-pip
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: addons. Please verify its path and try again

How to resolve this?

When I run yum repolist

# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.

# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.

# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

Solution

  • Remove the "addons" repository definition, which doesn't exists for CentOS 6 (it only exists for CentOS 5, but is empty).
