We have Foreman 1.12.4 w Katello 3.1 installed on Centos 7.2

After a small error with pip in which yum-controlled software was updated and broke our Katello install, I rolled back as best I could and set off a fresh sync on all products.

Some products worked fine, but about half return this error

RPM1004: Error retrieving metadata: Not found

I can't see anything online that would suggest a solution to this error. There have been some suggested solutions - for eg "install the errata", which would be possible except the Katello product is one that won't syncronise.

Does anyone know how I might go about syncing against the repos? Here is one of the repos that isn't syncing - it looks like there is metadata in there (by which I mean, there is a repodata dir with files in it).

https://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/3.1/pulp/el7/x86_64/

To be honest I'm a bit lost - I understand the error message (can't find the metadata) but I can't find a solution - it is as simple as finding the metadata and putting it in the right place on the filesystem somewhere, or is it more complex than that?

Check the URL on the repo and make sure its not using a subversion in there. I also had this problem but found that I had a subversion in the URL. Once I changed it to just use the major version, all is back to normal now.

Bad: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.3.1611/updates/x86_64/

Good: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updates/x86_64/

Hope that helps.
