Good morning awesome people !
I am getting a 404 downloading extras on Rocky 9 x86\_64. The relevant bits are below. Any advice is well appreciated. THe google searches done so far in re changes to dnf.conf or yum repos did not resolve.
Command example:
[vizteksupport@cntv501exadb01 ~]$ sudo dnf -y install sysstat
Rocky Linux 9 - Extras 191 B/s | 146 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘extras’:
- Status code: 404 for [http://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/9/extras/x86\_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml](http://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/9/extras/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml) (IP: 151.101.182.132)
Thank yoU!

That URL contains string “vault”, which probably should not be there. Wrong URL.

First, dnf.conf is not likely to have any URL.
Second, this one points to [fedoraproject.org](http://fedoraproject.org), and “BaseOS” within, so is not related.
Perhaps `dnf repolist` (or `dnf repolist all`) tells more about what you have.
Also, `grep -r extras /etc/yum.repos.d` should (in coarse manner) list repo definition files of interest.

Trimmed as the system doesn’t allow more than two links…

Choose one of the correct versions here: [Index of /vault/rocky/](https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/) since it’s either 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3. The value on it’s own is most likely what you have from the main mirrors which assume the latest release hence why on the vault you have to be more specific.
Although in all honesty, why are you trying to use the vault when it would be better using the live mirrors.

Perhaps `s/vault/pub/` since `http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/extras/x86_64/os/` exists.

There is no such thing as `vault/rocky/9` and there never will be. Why are you trying to use the vault? You are recommended to use `pub/rocky/9` or the mirror lists to always have the most up to date packages.

It may be worth looking into why the $releasever expands to 9 and not 9.3 then. How can I change it?

The better question is why are you trying to use the vault? The repodata is not available for 9.3 in the vault yet and will not be available until we release 9.4. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I just want to install sysstat. If there is a superior way to do this than the following command, please advise.
dnf install sysstat

If you insist:
```bash
sed --in-place=mybk '{s/^#mirrorlist/mirrorlist/; s/^baseurl/#baseurl/; s/vault/pub/;}' /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-extras.repo
dnf --enablerepo=* clean all
dnf install sysstat
```
But check out what the ‘sed’ would do before you use it.

File contents now look like:
[extras]
name=Rocky Linux $releasever - Extras
mirrorlist=[Home - Mirror Manager](https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/#mirrorlist?arch=$basearch&repo=extras-$releasever$rltype)

Something wrong with the URL. It is possible to revert to the baseurl:
```bash
sed --in-place=mybk2 '{s/^mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/; s/^#baseurl/baseurl/; }' /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-extras.repo
```
Which should be ok now that there is no “vault” in it. However, I would check what
```auto
dnf --disablerepo=extras reinstall rocky-repos
```
says that it would do. If it just that package, then let it do what it does.
That should store the ‘rocky-extras.repo’ from package as
`/etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-extras.repo.rpmnew` (since the current file is modified).
Then one can replace the “bad copy”:
```bash
mv /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-extras.repo.rpmnew /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-extras.repo
```

This worked now but is not clear why.
The final [extras] block reads:
```auto
[extras]
name=Rocky Linux $releasever - Extras
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.rockylinux.org/#mirrorlist?arch=$basearch&repo=extras-$releasever$rltype

I did put the block in your post into “code tags” to show the verbatim strings.
The repo definition was modified and there could have been “odd characters” that we did not spot. The fresh copy has cleared that issue.
