Hi,

I’m regularly getting spammed by my own servers, with the following message:

/etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron:

Not using downloaded epel/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
Current : Sat Sep 12 19:05:04 2020
Downloaded: Thu Sep 10 19:12:19 2020

How can I make this nonsense stop?

Cheers,

Niki

  • I too see this regularly. yum clean metadata stops it for a while. I am not sure if it is a problem with the way epel metadata is generated or just out of date mirrors. I occasionally see it with other repos but it happens with epel far more frequently. I have considered adding cron jobs to clean the metadata every so often but so far I just put up with it.

    You might want to ask on the epel list.

    A simple “yum clean all” got rid of the problem indeed. And a weekly cronjob for that sounds like a good idea.

    I have this problem at erratic intervals, and only with the EPEL repository.

    Cheers,
