As the post subject suggests I have some issues with yum.
Disabling the Base repo only move the problem to the next repo; it happens to all repos.
The XML is returned as a valid xml when using curl.
What have I done so far (with no results):
- yum clean
- removing the mirror list from the CentOS-Base.repo
- check the curl returns a valid xml
- check the mirror list returns a valid response
- add a proxy for in CentOS-Base.repo configuration
- removed the proxy for in CentOS-Base.repo configuration
- reinstalled yum, and plugins via local rpm
- disabled plugins
It looks like I'm running out of options, help would be appreciated
Error
cento7:[~]: sudo yum update Not loading "fastestmirror" plugin, as it is disabled Not loading "langpacks" plugin, as it is disabled Config time: 0.009 Yum version: 3.4.3 rpmdb time: 0.000 Updating Everything Building updates object Setting up Package Sacks base | 104 kB 00:00:00 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for base: Damaged repomd.xml file Trying other mirror. One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - Base), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=base ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable base or subscription-manager repos --disable=base 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repository when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=base.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/repomd.xml from base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for base: Damaged repomd.xml file /etc/yum.conf:

yum clean alland, for good measure,rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*. Then try again.
