Yum "No more mirrors to try"

[RonRussell]

I was attempting to replace sendmail with postfix (as explained in "PBX in a Flash without Tears") and got these errors:

---> Downloading header for postfix to pack into transaction set.

Error: failure: RPMS/postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

I tried this a couple of weeks ago and got the same result and decided to wait a while and try again. Is this my problem or a problem with the mirror sites?

This is normal and you simply have to try again at a later date. Be patient as this can be caused by any number of things. Especially if you are trying at the same time of day.

You can always try

yum clean all

yum makecache

if still no go look at your DNS resolution.
