Hi Benjamin,

I don't understand what you're getting at exactly, or what represents a "failure".

I checked the first RPM in your output, which maps to https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.10/extras/x86_64/kickstart/Packages/centos-release-advanced-virtualization-1.0-4.el8.noarch.rpm, which works just fine and doesn't throw any errors.  What's the issue here?

Hello everyone,

We have identified a significant number of non-functioning-repo RPMs and
need to know which of these are intentionally non-functional so we can
map them correctly in our archive rather than propagating broken repo
definitions to enrolled systems.

A simple "intentional" / "defect" next to each in the attached
list/report would be fully adequate.

The attached report summary should make it straightforward either to
classify these as intentional or to address them as defects.


Thanks,

Benjamin Smith

completeness, this historical archive includes the results of metalink
and mirrorlist queries but many of these do not resolve._______________________________________________
