CLOSED: Upgrade 7 to 8 fails at install fedup

After first executing

Code: Select all

sudo yum clean metadata
I was able to update and reboot with no problems. >200 items were updated over about 20 minutes. From what I read before attempting the upgrade, this sounds normal.
But when I attempt

Code: Select all

sudo yum -y install fedup
after the reboot, I get:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
http://f19.amahi.org/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: f19.amahi.org; Unknown error"
Trying other mirror.


One of the configured repositories failed (Amahi repository for Fedora 19),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.

2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).

3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
--enablerepo for temporary usage:

yum-config-manager --disable amahi

4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:

yum-config-manager --save --setopt=amahi.skip_if_unavailable=true

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from amahi: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
http://f19.amahi.org/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: f19.amahi.org; Unknown error"


Forgive my lack of experience with Linux, but did cleaning the metadata break the ability to install fedup? Am I pointing at the wrong Amahi repository? Was the repository down at some point?

Did you do the update a second time?

I just checked and the repo site is up.

You might check out the Amahi 8 Troubleshooting site.

I'm not sure how to answer. Following the "Amahi 8 Upgrade" wiki page I did enter the command to update a second time, but the response was something like "no packages to update."

Just tried again, and fedup installed. Will post again with results.

That's what I was asking. Wanted to see if you tried to update a second time.

Must have been an internet outage or something. Odd, but at least it's working now.

Hope you are successful. So far there have been more successes than failures with upgrade.

Still making progress. I'm currently executing the "sudo remove ...." step. Almost there.

Looks like the upgrade completed successfully. The server is up and I was able to access Plex and briefly play a movie over on the share. We can close this thread.

I guess I couldn't connect to the repository for a half hour window for whatever reason. I never lost internet connectivity fully, obviously, as I was able to post to the forum.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll open a new thread if I have post-installation issues.

Good to hear it worked out.

Hope you continue to have success.
