Added a repository according to the instructions [Install Elasticsearch with RPM | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html)

When yum trying download [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/filelists.xml.gz](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/filelists.xml.gz) I got error.

When I trying open in browser [https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/filelists.xml.gz](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/filelists.xml.gz), I see:

```auto
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum/repodata/filelists.xml.gz
Line Number 1, Column 1:

```

can you share the error you got when calling yum instead of the one you got when using the browser? Which distribution are you using?

Centos 8  
My error:

```auto
sudo yum check-update
Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration
Elastic repository for 7.x packages 372 kB/s | 1.0 MB 00:02

```

After this error I added sslverify=false in /etc/yum.conf. And got this error:

```auto
sudo yum check-update
