On Satellite client yum fails with "failed to retrieve getPackage/<package_name> from <channel_name> error was [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Issue

  • On Red Hat Satellite client yum fails with following error:
      Error Downloading Packages:
      1:package_name: failed to retrieve getPackage/package_name from channel_name
      error was [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404"

Resolution

  • Use restorecon to set the selinux contexts in /var/satellite correctly:
# restorecon -R /var/satellite

Root Cause

  • Selinux is in enforcing mode but correct file contexts are not set to the files under /var/satellite

Diagnostic Steps

  • Check output from getfacl & ls -Z commands for the problematic package to check selinux permissions,
# getfacl /var/satellite/redhat/path/to/package
# ls -Z /var/satellite/redhat/path/to/package

Example:

# getfacl /var/satellite/redhat/NULL/374/pam/1.1.1-10.el6_2.1/x86_64/374d80e941ca6db1cb90bed1e3c88b37b46e3b66c70e0b5c69cc64904ce8bc52/pam-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.x86_64.rpm

# ls -Z /var/satellite/redhat/NULL/374/pam/1.1.1-10.el6_2.1/x86_64/374d80e941ca6db1cb90bed1e3c88b37b46e3b66c70e0b5c69cc64904ce8bc52/pam-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.x86_64.rpm
  • Check file permissions under /var/satellite. Owner of all files should be apache.root or apache:apache
  • Component
  • yum
