#7999 download errors in dnf in Azure pipelines
Closed: fixed 4 years ago by cheimes. Opened 4 years ago by fcami.

Issue

Sometimes the prepare-build step of azure pipelines fails with download errors:
"configure: error: Package requirements (nspr) were not met:"

This can be due to fastestmirror not being used to check mirror availability and sometimes speed.
Combined with a too-low default number of retries, and a high timeout this can lead to download failures that could be avoided.

Activate fastestmirror, add more download workers, and tune timeout/retries to make dnf more reliable.

If prepare-build still experiences intermittent download failures after this fix, the alternative is to create fedora repositories pointing to a subset of known-good hosts close to our running location.
