Unable to retrieve large RPM files from Red Hat Proxy server using the yum client
Issue
- We are using the Satellite to distribute software from different vendors
- We package the software in an RPM and use the Satellite to have a uniform way of distributing software
- These RPMs have sizes that range up to 1GB and recently we have found that these packages will not install on systems that are connected to a Red Hat Proxy
- On systems that are connected to the Satellite directly we do not see problems
-
Here is an example of the error:
# yum install some_large_package Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package some_large_package.x86_64 1.0> set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ==================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ==================================================================================== Installing: some_large_package x86_64 1.0 custom-channel 703 M Transaction Summary ==================================================================================== Install 1 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total download size: 703 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: some_large_package-1.0.x86_64.rpm | 16 kB 00:00 ...
