TL;DR… I'm replacing public yum repos with an internal one and I can't figure out why two public ones continue to display in "yum repolist
" when they don't appear in the normal config files.
I've installed Oracle Linux 7.1 (closely derived from RHEL 7.1) and am switching the system's yum repositories from the public repos to our internal private one.
Oracle Linux 7.1 ships with a default /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo
which contains several repos, the only two which are enabled are "ol7_latest
" and "ol7_UEKR3
" which come from public-yum.oracle.com
.
I delete this file and copy my own own .repo files… uswulnrepo01_ol7_latest.repo
and uswulnrepo01_ol7_uekr3.repo
. (uswulnrepo01
is our internal yum repository).
After I do this I verify with a "yum clean all && yum repolist
" to verify only my two repositories show up, which they do.
The problem is I end up with 4 repositories…
[root@oel7template yum.repos.d]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from ULN.

I cannot figure out where ol7_x86_64_UEKR3
and ol7_x86_64_latest
are coming from. When I try to get extended info on the repositories (I've removed non-relevant data)…

Notice how the top two unwanted linux-update.oracle.com
entries don't have a Repo-filename
value, nor do they match public-yum.oracle.com
which the default public-yum-ol6.repo
had.
I've tried everything to remove these entries but I can't figure out how. I've looked around in other yum config files, done some content searches on the /etc/
directory and I can't find anything relevant. I've even deleted the contents of /var/cache/yum/
. When I do a "yum repolist
" after that, the public yum folders re-appear.
I doubt yum itself was modified by Oracle, so these repos have to be in a config file somewhere… How can I figure out where? Is there a command which lists all config files yum reads?
Edit
I created a new configuration file "/etc/yum.repos.d/ol7_x86_64_UEKR3.repo
" as an attempt to permenantly disable the repo:
[ol7_x86_64_UEKR3]
name=Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 for Oracle Linux 7 (x86_64) - Latest
enabled=0
And I get a new error (again, removed unnecessary info):
[root@oel7template yum.repos.d]# yum repolist -v

Repository ol7_x86_64_UEKR3 is listed more than once in the configuration
To me, this reinforces the idea that this setting is in a config file somewhere… But how do I find it?
