yum更新时提示报错Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository

利用 yum -y update 更新包时遇到以下问题。

提示报错：

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmforge. Please verify its path and try again

[root@iZ28q7v0rnhZ mysql]# yum -y update
Loaded plugins: security
Setting up Update Process

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmforge. Please verify its path and try again

这是由于 yum 默认源 apt.sw.be 源出现了问题，解决方法为：

打开目录 /etc/yum.repos.d/，将其中的文件 rpmforge.repo 备份掉。

[root@iZ28q7v0rnhZ yum.repos.d]# ls
backup                 CentOS-Media.repo  mirrors-rpmforge          rpmforge.repo
CentOS-Base.repo       CentOS-Vault.repo  mirrors-rpmforge-extras
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  epel.repo          mirrors-rpmforge-testing
[root@iZ28q7v0rnhZ yum.repos.d]# mv rpmforge.repo rpmforge.repo.bak

然后可以正常进行 yum 下载更新。
