Trying to install certbot, for Lets Encrypt certificate installation. How do I fix the below repo issue? I have not been successful tracking down this issue using google.

[root@dream postfix]# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm CentOS-8 – AppStream 0.0
B/s | 0 B 00:10
Failed to download metadata for repo ‘AppStream’
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo ‘AppStream’
[root@dream postfix]# ^C
[root@dream postfix]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-AppStream.repo CentOS-CR.repo CentOS-Extras.repo CentOS-Media.repo
CentOS-Vault.repo CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-PowerTools.repo CentOS-CentOSplus.repo CentOS-Devel.repo CentOS-HA.repo CentOS-Sources.repo
[root@dream postfix]# dnf repolist CentOS-8 – AppStream 0.0

  • I don’t know if one has anything to do with the other, but I am also getting dnf makecache failures in the logs…

  • Believe I have fixed the repo failure issue. ‘Yum repolist’ works about half the time, the other
    50% still seems to be connection related. Still investigating.
