Librepo error: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Since upgrading the puppet-agent binary is too much work: puppetlabs/puppet#9512

And this module creates a repo entry like this:

%  cat /etc/yum.repos.d/pc_repo.repo 
[pc_repo]
name=Puppet Labs puppet8 Repository
baseurl=http://yum.puppet.com/puppet8/fedora/41/x86_64
enabled=True
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet
  file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet-20250406

Which results in:

# dnf update               
Updating and loading repositories:

Therefore, I'm requesting an elegant solution.

@Stricken1670 Fedora 41 packages haven't shipped yet so you're going to get an error trying to install non-existent packages. What is the desired behavior you are asking for?

[Stricken1670]

I've asked the puppet people to update the package and they told me they have too much to do, even though somebody else at the company make the build process so easy you can simply add a new entry to a text file and the new fedora 41 binary is generated. So much for good documentation.

So... Since puppet won't budge and the fedora 40 packages still work on fedora 41, the workaround I propose is to use the fedora 40 package for fedora 41 as well.

@Stricken1670 Fedora 41 packages are now available as part of the Puppet Core 8.11.0 release. https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/8/puppet_index.html The puppet-agent packages are behind a EULA now, so you'll need to read up on https://www.puppet.com/products/puppet-core.

That said, this isn't a bug in the puppet_agent module, so I'm going to close.

Here is the solution:

• https://voxpupuli.org/openvox/
• https://community.theforeman.org/t/perforces-open-source-plans/40237

puppet is no longer open source, bye bye.
