Topic: Problem: No updates and daily error-notification

[123chris]

Hello folks,

The last four weeks I didn't receive any updates for my server (that could be ok, offcourse) but I also recieve errormessages in my mailbox from Cron <root@sme> /sbin/e-smith/check4updates -m

Like this one:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates


or this one:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates Error in sys.exitfunc:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/atexit.py", line 20, in _run_exitfuncs
    func(*targs, **kargs)
  File "plugins.py", line 159, in run
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/smeserver.py", line 69, in close_hook
    os.unlink('/var/run/yum.status')
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/yum.status'

I don't think its an bug, but I do think something is wrong. 

Does anyone of you recognise this error and know how to fix it?

Regards,

Chris

Please report bugs and potential bugs in the bug tracker - Thanks.

If we could assume you already did the following...

Code: [Select]

yum clean all
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
yum update
then

Try the instructions under "2 Yum Update" here http://wiki.contribs.org/Updating_to_SME_7.2

If you recently did a yum upgrade...

then

Read the entire page for that link for what may apply to your system.

Also as a suggestion you could search the forum & wiki & bug tracker & google for your particular error i.e.

"Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo"

Which in most cases, could lead you to possible solutions.
