• Can you run the code from: https://github.com/puiterwijk/check_metalink to see if we can pin down the proxy which is the problem (there are 14 and our checks are showing they are ok so I need to pin this down somewhere).

• –Since I’m seeing the same errors intermittently, I tried to run the script. Recall that CentOS still ships with Python 2. First I had to install rh-python36 from SCL. Then I had to change the script’s shebang to
  “#!/usr/bin/env python”. Now it complains that there’s no requests module. I don’t know how to resolve Python3 dependencies for a python installed from SCL. How far down the rabbit hole will I need to go to get the script working? ;)

  OK metalink means that at least one mirror is valid

• Yeah.. sorry. I didn’t see I had made this one little change to my version:

  diff –git a/check_metalink b/check_metalink index f2beeb5..380b16d 100755
  — a/check_metalink
  +++ b/check_metalink
  @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
  -#!/bin/python3
  +#!/bin/python

  I will see if I can make this work without that pathc.

• OK it looks like the server we have this proxy on is swamped and is causing problems. I am trying to see what we can do to fix that.

  There is no official epel.i386 so the second one errors for that reason.

• Hello,

  my test have this
  ./check_metalink –repo epel –check-master

• Argh I missed the problem until now.

  ./check_metalink –repo=epel-6 –check-master
  [will test i386 and x86_64]

  ./check_metalink –repo=epel-7 –check-master
  [will test just x86_64]

  ./check_metalink –repo=epel
  [does not error out like it shoudl.]
