Hi, I am getting an error message: ```auto elasticsearch-7.x/primary FAILED https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum ``` after running "yum update". I tried to clean yum cache and follow instructions in [yum and proxies (getting yum to work through a http proxy) - kbinstuff](https://sites.google.com/site/kbinstuff/yum-and-proxies) to make sure that it is nothing on my end. Unfortunately, those actions did not help. ```auto /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo [elasticsearch] name=Elasticsearch repository for 7.x packages baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch enabled=1 autorefresh=1 type=rpm-md 53f77735744ed4cafdf6e1c7bf5e8714 primary.xml md5sum ``` Elasticsearch version 7.9.3 Please advise, Daniel ---

Can you confirm last attempt timestamp? Our team testing just got it to work but suspect an issue about an hour ago while pushing 7.15 live. ---

One of the configured repositories failed (Elastic repository for 7.x packages), 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=elastic-7.x ... 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 elastic-7.x or subscription-manager repos --disable=elastic-7.x 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. 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=elastic-7.x.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from elastic-7.x: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum [root@3d67fe35cdc5 /]# date Wed Sep 22 18:10:44 UTC 2021 ``` ---

I have Elastic Infra currently investigating. AFAIK issue is YUM/APT Linux installations (w/caveat above that uncompressed may work). Kindly update if anyone notices other installation methods that started experiencing issues w/in the last hour/so. ---
