Trying other mirror. To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article

https://access.redhat.com/articles/1320623

If above article doesn’t help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with Red Hat Support.

The Red Hat explanation is blocked. All one can read is

” This issue generally occurs if client system is able to commun… Subscriber exclusive content”

QUESTIONS

(1) Should the Red Hat link be replaced by a CentOS one ?

(2) Why am I seeing a ‘SCL’ URL when I have not subscribed to Software Collections ?

(3) I did not get the error when updating other C6 installations around Europe, probably because they used different sources, so is the error caused by a faulty mirror file ?

Despite the error, I successfully installed

acpid x86_64 1.0.10-3.el6 base 37 k CentOS-release x86_64 6-8.el6.CentOS.12.3 base 21 k findutils x86_64 1:4.4.2-9.el6 base 447 k logwatch noarch 7.3.6-54.el6 base 303 k pango x86_64 1.28.1-11.el6 base 351 k passwd x86_64 0.77-7.el6 base 89 k wget x86_64 1.12-8.el6 base 484 k

Comments and advice welcome and appreciated, as always.

    The Red Hat reference in yum I am working on for a future update.

    The /SCL is old and has been replaced by the SIG version of software collections:

    yum remove CentOS-release-SCL

    yum install CentOS-release-scl CentOS-release-scl-rh

    Thanks, Johnny Hughes

  • –P9lsD1UGmQl3gnftobActually, looking at the repos, you only NEED *CentOS-release-scl-rh*
    (that is the actual replacement for what we were building) .. but
    *CentOS-release-scl* has other items you might also find helpful.

  • Thank you very much Johnny. I always deeply appreciate your considerable efforts. How can we clone you ;-)
