Error:Failed to retrieve the current status of the installed packages.

Hi Guys,

Need your help. when I try to check the installed packages on one of the container I got this error.
what does this mean?
yum is not installed on the container. I also tried installing adding the yum from the HN I got the same error. (#vzpkg install -p 113 yum )


Can not update packages: exec failed: Cannot find a valid baseurl for: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?releas...x86_64&repo=os
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?releas...x86_64&repo=os
Error: /usr/share/vzyum/bin/yum failed, exitcode=1

thank you. I appreciate your help. =)

I happened to be updating things on the 25th and experienced the same issue. I think a mirror or mirrorserver was down. It should be OK now?

You can bypass the issue by commenting out the mirrorlist line and uncommenting the baseurl line in /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo (or similar- that's from memory). Remember to change it back afterwards.

Faris is right, except the fact that in mirrolist we should comment out only centos-related servers, e.g.:

[22:31:06][~]# cat /vz/template/centos/6/x86_64/config/os/default/mirrorlist
$SW_SERVER/download/mirrors/centos-6
$SW_SERVER/download/mirrors/updates-released-ce6
#http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os
#http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=updates
[22:31:09][~]#

And create repositories file:

[22:33:17][~]# cat /vz/template/centos/6/x86_64/config/os/default/repositories
$CE_SERVER/centos/6/os/x86_64
$CE_SERVER/centos/6/updates/x86_64
[22:33:21][~]#

You may find additional details on package caching in the neighbor thread, since most of steps are common for vzpkg create\update cache and vzpkg install commands, except for temporary container creation.
