Can you try running a "yum clean all", and then attempt accessing the repository again?

New metadata was published to the repository recently, and it's possible that you'd need to clear out your local cache.

I ran a test here, and I'm not seeing a problem when accessing the repository after running yum clean all.

This isn't happening from a yum update its happening when install VM Pro from the install script.

Running yum clean all should fix it though. There was an error in the repo that we just fixed ..

Still not working... yum clean all did nothing

I just re-ran the fix .. please try again.

Ok that works now.... Texas lost tonight :(

After tonight, my buddies think the game is fixed!

I'm glad the repo is working though :-)

I swear it is fixed... Texas should have won tonight, they had everything going for them until the 7th inning and that idiot threw the ball to first base instead of second... friggin 4 feet away and he throws to 1st ???? OMFG you have to be kidding !!

Yup the install script completed.

I just started seeing this for the virtualmin-bleed repo on only one of three identical CentOS 5.7 x86-64 systems this week. Cleaning yum's cache isn't helping:

Any thoughts on how to clear this up?

I'm having the same issue here while migrating my virtualmin install to a new CentOS 5 box

Virtualmin 3.88

Looks like some data in our repos may have been out of date. Try running yum clean all and re-trying the install ..

Okay, I don't know if it's coincidental (if you just made a change that fixed it), but I just found a forum thread that suggested running all three of these, and it worked for me:

yum clean all; rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*; rpm --rebuilddb

Bingo, that eliminated my update error. Thanks, Jamie!

Great! I don't think the rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*; rpm --rebuilddb is needed in this case..

Sorry that I was unclear; indeed, all it took was the 'yum clean all' after the work on your end. I didn't execute the rpm commands.
