[Users] Repos/mirrors & 7.0.12

[Alexey Zilber]

Hi Jonathan,

  I asked the same question on the dev list and this was the response
below.  Btw, if you're having issues, do a yum clean all.

Hi All,

   I notice that there is some funkiness going on with the repo metadata.
A lot of times when I do a 'yum update' I get a message saying my local
cache is newer than the repo.   If I try to install a specific package,
I'll get errors like:

debian-10.0-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-9. FAILED

http://mirror.zetup.net/openvz/virtuozzo/releases/7.0/x86_64/os/Packages/d/debian-10.0-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-9.vz7.noarch.rpm:
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found           ]  0.0 B/s |    0
B  --:--:-- ETA

Trying other mirror.


The package will never be found on any mirror.


The only way forward is to do a 'yum clean all', then everything is fine...
until a few weeks later, when the same thing happens again.  Are the repos
going through some major changes?


Hi Alexey,

well, i can explain the current situation:
we've uploaded vz7 update 12 bits recently
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.12-283/
<https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.12-283/x86_64/os/Packages/d/>

but found a memory leak on vz7.116.6 kernel if running VMs and as OpenVZ
users cannot fix kernel issues via ReadyKernel patches,
we decided to roll back update 12 bits in repo until we have it fixed.

This explains the situation with particular debian-10.0-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-9
rpm:
it presents in update 12 repo
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.12-283/x86_64/os/Packages/d/

but absents in update 11 repo
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.11-235/x86_64/os/Packages/d/


But this is quite exceptional case, this does not explain why (if) it
happens to you often, the reason should be something else.

Hope that helps.
