Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository 해결

---

CentOS yum 패키지 관리자를 이용하여 패키지를 설치하려고 할 때, 아래와 같은 에러 메세지가 발생할 수 있습니다.

# yum update
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

 

여기서 문제가 발생하는 패키지 저장소는 epel-release 저장소이므로 /etc/yum.repos.d의 epel.repo 를 편집합니다. epel.repo의 내용은 다음과 같습니다.

# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

[epel-debuginfo]

#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch/debug
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-debug-6&arch=$basearch

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

[epel-source]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch - Source
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS

failovermethod=priority

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
gpgcheck=1

이제 여기에 있는 #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch 부분의 주석을 해제, mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch 부분에 주석을 추가해야 합니다.

수정 후에는 아래와 같습니다. epel-debuginfo, epel-source 부분은 수정하지 않으셔도 무방합니다.

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

저장 후 아래 명령어로 yum의 캐시를 제거합니다.

# yum clean all

이제 명령어를 실행하면 제대로 설치될 것입니다.
