Error

While executing yum commands user is getting below error:

# yum update
Bad id for repo: My Repo, byte = 2

 

The following is the repo file which is used for local dvd image

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/my_repo.repo
[My Repo]
name=repo1
baseurl=file:///mnt/iso/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

 

Solution

[My Repo] is wrong as it uses spaces between letters which are not properly translated by yum. Do not include white space in [My Repo].

 

So to correct it change the name file from :

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/my_repo.repo
[My Repo]
name=repo1
baseurl=file:///mnt/iso/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

 

To

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/my_repo.repo
[My-Repo]
name=repo1
baseurl=file:///mnt/iso/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Verify the
