Yum update error on CentOS 5.6
CentOS-5 reached end-of-life on March 31, 2017. This means that no new updates will be released by Red Hat. The current 5.11 tree you seek has been moved to vault.centos.org
.
To obtain access to the 5.11 branch, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
and comment out the mirrorlist
directives. Furthermore, in each enabled section add baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/5.11/os/$basearch
or baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/5.11/updates/$basearch
, appropriately. For example, for a base
repo that looks like:
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
...change to:
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
# mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/5.11/os/$basearch
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
Updated and tested (as of this post date) version of /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo for Centos 5.11 (final):
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
