Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-6-server-rh-common-beta-debug-rpms. Please verify its path and try again

i may be a newbi. i found on knowledge base some talk about SSL and Satellite. i only use RHEL on my laptop after getting the free self-support subscription for developers.

Thank you all,

I wonder if i can use RHEL free subscribtion as i use Centos. I mean without issues with yum and packages. Without restrictions. Or maybe i have to move to Centos!!

Hi Mohamed ! :)

Of course you can use the free developer subscription of RHEL without yum update issues - but I am wondering why you do not select the latest available edition RHEL 7.3 instead of RHEL 6 ? To solve your problem, execute : yum clean all and then execute : yum update again.
In case the problem still occurs, clean up everything by un-registering and re-registering the operating system :

subscription-manager remove --all
subscription-manager unregister
subscription-manager clean

subscription-manager register
subscription-manager refresh
subscription-manager attach --auto

Thank you Christian. I have walked through all steps but the same error occured. I noticed with command subscription-manager register a missing subscription alert.

Thank you,

Mohamed

You're welcome Mohamed ! :) Well, maybe this missing subscription alert leads to the solution. So, you should check your subscription status in the Customer Portal - in case everything looks correctly, you should contact the customer support.

Mohamed - I believe you should be able to use Red Hat support to resolve your subscription issue.

What Christian said earlier, you can get free Red Hat Server (with updates), please see the specifics at this link https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2460371

You are right, yum update issues are covered - from FAQ (https://developers.redhat.com/articles/no-cost-rhel-faq) :
Users can open a support ticket for issues related to Red Hat Network registration or issues related to yum updates.

Mohamed, log into http://developer.redhat.com/ with your current Red Hat credentials, and that will give you another entitlement at no cost.
