dnf broken: all mirrors were tried

Question

I don't know how to describe my problem because I don't understand why it happen ... When i enter

sudo dnf install (any packet)

It return me this

Tor Project Repo               407  B/s | 264  B     00:00    
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Tor': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Its obvious that Tor is related to that mess but i don't know why.

I tried nothing because I'm afraid to do something wrong. I'm on fedora 30. (english baguette)

What happens with `sudo dnf install some-package --disablerepo='tor*'`? — rickhg12hs, Jan 24 '20 at 07:55

It seems like you have a broken repository. Probably you will find this repository in:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/

there will probably be a file named tor*.repo. If you remove that file (or edit it to contain enabled=0), then dnf should start working correctly again.

I tried this command and my problem fixed:

sudo rm -r /var/cache/dnf

Failed to download metadata for repo ‘bintray–resin-io-redhat’: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml

I was getting same error for kubernetes.repo. It got resolved by setting enabled=0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo. Now I can download other package (example Nginx that I was unable to download).

It would be valuable to add some more details on what the code is doing – mozway Apr 27 '23 at 11:24

This worked for me -

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

rm -rf .

yum upgrade

yum update

Note: redhat.repo will regenerate itself on the next yum run, and in the process some repositories will stay lost, be careful.

I advise against removing yum repositories like this. If you have added other repositories before, they will be gone after deleting. I don't think, that yum regenerates other repositories, if even the redhat repo itself. – nbsp Nov 23 '21 at 13:30
This is VERY bad advice. Do not listen to this guy. – gillytech Mar 05 '23 at 23:30
