yum install gcc fails with invalid linux.dropbox.com/fedora directory
- by john
I am relatively new to Linux administration. I have installed Centos 6.5 (under VirtualBox on a Win7pro system). When I try to install gcc to the system using yum, I get the following results:
[root@localhost etc]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Cleaning repos: Dropbox base extras updates
Cleaning up Everything
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
[root@localhost etc]# yum install gcc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Determining fastest mirrors
* base: mirrors.tummy.com
* extras: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu
* updates: centos.mirror.freedomvoice.com
http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/6/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: Dropbox. Please verify its path and try again
It appears that the linux.dropbox.com/fedora/6 subdirectory does not exist.
Does anyone have any ints/answers for me.
Thanks.
