But I think you can clean one repo at a time. And/or *deleting* the repo metadata file should work, too.
Ok, I took your word for it. I have enough problems with Chtulu already. After toying around I found that this works to suppress the errors: /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo remi-safe clean metadata >/dev/null 2>&1 yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo remi-php80 clean metadata >/dev/null 2>&1 exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron (and a similar addition to 0yum-hourly.cron) Thanks all
