Yum command unexpected behaviour

When trying to run this command:

root@491586 [~]# yum install memcached.x86_64 php-pecl-memcache.x86_64

I get this:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

Setting up Install Process

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

  • base: centos.hyve.com

  • extras: mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net

  • updates: mirror.as29550.net

http://pkg.cloudflare.com/dists/el6_6/railgun/binary-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: railgun. Please verify its path and try again

railgun???

Yes I did try to install railgun earlier using "yum install railgun-stable" according to cloudflare documentation but then I had to download individual package and successfully installed it.

Now I can't install any other yum package.

I have tried these:

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*

rpm --rebuilddb -v -v

yum clean all

but no luck.

You configured yum with an enabled railgun repository only that repository is broken and yum is attempting to prevent you from getting into further harm by only operating when all enabled repositories are available.

There is likely a railgun.repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. You can edit it to changed enabled=1 to enabled=0 to disable the repository (newer versions of CentOS/RedHat have a cli tool that can do that for you also but I don't remember what it is called offhand).

But if you don't actually need/want that repository then you should remove it entirely.

If rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/railgun.repo returns a package name (and hopefully it will, something like railgun-release probably) then you should just remove that package.

If it returns file /etc/yum.repos.d/railgun.repo is not owned by any package (or other similar message) then you can just remove the file manually.
