Repo 'powertools-source': Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

[BlueSteam]

Hello,

We are running cPanel on Almalinux 8.5

This morning I woke up to the following error:

My initial thoughts are that the repo is down because of that 404 error in the output so I am wondering if there is an alternative repo to get the update through?

Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). The following events were logged: “scripts/findphpversion” and “scripts/update-packages”. Review the update logs to determine why the update failed.

When I retry the script/update-packages I get the following error:

[[email protected] scripts]# ./update-packages
checkyum version 22.3 (excludes: bind-chroot)
AlmaLinux 8 - PowerTools Source 70 B/s | 146 B 00:02
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'powertools-source': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
(XID w6pc9k) “/usr/bin/yum” reported error code “1” when it ended:
[[email protected] scripts]#

So I ran yum clean all and then yum update and tried again but the same happens repeatedly.

I would appreciate it if someone could provide me some guidance here.

I remember I resolved one such issue by rebuilding the yum cache:

yum clean all
yum makecache

CloudLinux, and by extension, AlmaLinux, did have some repository issues over the weekend. To my knowledge they are resolved at this point, but let me know if you see anything else out of the ordinary.
