Dear all,
CentOS 6

After executing "yum update -y" command I am facing this error. Please help me out.
thanks in advance. Full error & error code is given as follow:

file:///var/lib/yum/plugins/local/repodata/75402989a793f88a7563b2b20f427e47167d12107357ab5810170d148f76aab2-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///var/lib/yum/plugins/local/repodata/75402989a793f88a7563b2b20f427e47167d12107357ab5810170d148f76aab2-filelists.sqlite.bz2

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

hi,

have you already tried to use the option

--skip-broken

as suggested by the error message?
check also for the existence and access rights on the file /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/repodata/75402989a793f88a7563b2b20f427e47167d12107357ab5810170d148f76aab2-filelists.sqlite.bz2
may you also please show ALL the output from the yum command? (not only the error message part).

see ya

I think there is a problem in this file

var/lib/yum/plugins/local/repodata/repomd.xml

this file (repomd.xml) in my case is totally empty. there is no single word in this file.

I am not happy with these errors :mad:

then try

# yum clean headers && yum clean metadata && yum makecache
# yum update -y

if its get error(s) then try these
remove repo dir(..../repodata) and create new one

# rm -r /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/repodata
# createrepo /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/
# yum update -y

Yaaaa hoooo,,,
Thanks GOD,
I resolved my problem, I makes some changes into this file

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/_local.repo

Original file was look like this

[_local]
name=Automatic local repo. (manged by the "local" yum plugin).
baseurl=file:/var/lib/yum/plugins/local
enabled=1
gpgcheck=true
#  Metadata expire could be set to "never" because the local plugin will
# automatically cause a cache refresh when new packages are added. However
# it's really cheap to check, and this way people can dump stuff in whenever
# and it never gets out of sync. for long.
metadata_expire=1h
#  Make cost smaller, as we know it's "local". If you really want to be sure,
# you can do this ... but the name will do pretty much the same thing, and that
# way we can also see the other packages (with: --showduplicates list).
# cost=500

I makes these changes into this file

enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
#gpgcheck=true

this change makes me like this :slight_smile:
