Yum Update Fails With Error "mdmadm-4.1-8.0.1.el7_9.x86_64: failed to retrieve package"

edited Jun 20, 2022 6:28AM in Linux

When trying to perform an update on an OCI Instance running Oracle Linux 7, the update fails with the following error:

Error downloading packages:

 mdadm-4.1-8.0.1.el7_9.x86_64: failed to retrieve https://yum-iad.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/9/patch/x86_64/getPackage/mdadm-4.1-8.0.1.el7_9.x86_64.rpm from ol7_uekr5-x86_64

error was [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

This error is caused by a known issue. Please update the mdadm package to version 4.1-9.el7_9.x86_64 or higher:

# yum update mdadm

If this does not resolve the issue, engage the Oracle Linux Cloud Support team by opening a My Oracle Support (MOS) service request to get a fix for this issue.

Howdy, Stranger!
