#11646 Mirror issue with fedora 36 and fedora-modular repo
Closed: Fixed by adrian. Opened by frenaud.

Reopen Issue

Describe what you would like us to do:

On fedora 36, the fedora-modular.repo is using a metalink that provides out of date information. Dnf update fails because fedora-modular doesn't find any functional mirror.

My fedora-modular.repo contains the following:

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-modular.repo 
[fedora-modular]
name=Fedora Modular $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.example/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Modular/$basearch/os/
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-modular-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
countme=1
metadata_expire=7d
repo_gpgcheck=0
type=rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch
skip_if_unavailable=False

Output of dnf update:

# dnf update

The metalink resolves the mirrors into the following list:

All the URLs are using /fedora/linux/releases/36/Modular/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml but should be replaced with /archive/fedora/linux/releases/36/Modular/x86_64/os/repodata/

Note that the other repositories are working well (fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo)

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

As soon as possible

Should be fixed soon. Someone was running the script to move content to the archive with --directoryRe='/36/Everything' which excluded the Modular content.

I reran the script with -directoryRe=36 and it should soon work again. Maybe 60 minutes.
