I am trying to add the intel products repository to dnf by creating a .repo file but when I run dnf repolist I am getting this error:

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'intel-products', disabling.

My intel-products.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d looks like this:

[intel-products]
name=intel-products
baseurl=https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS-2019.PUB

What is wrong with this file?

Update 1

As suggested in comments, I tried running dnf repolist --verbose which shows:

Cannot download 'https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried.

After changing the baseurl variable to the full path of the url, I get the same:

Cannot download 'https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors w
ere tried

Update 2:

Output of curl https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo:

  • Can you try dnf repolist -v ? – Ortomala Lokni Jul 2 '18 at 15:17
  • @Ortomala Lokni I have updated the post with the output of dnf repolist -v – MyWrathAcademia Jul 2 '18 at 15:23
  • What's the result of curl https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo ? – Ortomala Lokni Jul 2 '18 at 15:47
  • @Ortomala Lokni good idea curls output provides very good information – MyWrathAcademia Jul 2 '18 at 16:04
  • @Ortomala Lokni I changed the url to baseurl=https://yum.repos.intel.com/ but I'm still getting the same error. – MyWrathAcademia Jul 2 '18 at 16:25

Your baseurl is incorrect, it should be pointing to a repository with a repomd.xml and not a .repo file.

Try:

curl https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/intel-products.repo; dnf repolist

and see if that works any better

I needed to use exactly the same .repo files created by intel since I didn't know how they defined the variables and values in their file. For this, I used the output of curl to standard output:

curl https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo | cat > intel-products.repo

  • Did you just copy the answer someone else gave you and accept your own instead of theirs? – Centimane Jul 6 '18 at 18:15
  • Of course not, I solved this a long time ago and moved on to something else. Just got round to posting my answer. The only help I got was from @Ortomala Lokni whose comments allowed me to pin-point a solution. – MyWrathAcademia Jul 6 '18 at 18:19

    You say a long time ago, but this was asked 5 days ago, and the answer is from the same day you asked. I'd say it would be better to accept the answer already written if it's correct rather than re-writing it. – Centimane Jul 6 '18 at 18:21
  • Save yourself some typing. curl -O https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo achieves same thing. – steve Jul 6 '18 at 18:37
  • @steve I don't think that will work, I'm pretty sure I tried that already thats why I decided to use the redirect operator instead. – MyWrathAcademia Jul 6 '18 at 18:41

curl -O ought to do the trick on Fedora. Certainly does here, on CentOS 7.

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# ls i*
ls: cannot access i*: No such file or directory
# curl -O https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  1362  100  1362    0     0   3150      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  3145
# ls i*
intelproducts.repo

  • it downloads but have you tried to access that repo through dnf, in your case yum since you're on CentOS? – MyWrathAcademia Jul 6 '18 at 19:12
  • Yes. Yum repolist etc all imported new keys and connected to Intel repo fine – steve Jul 6 '18 at 19:13
  • In that case that's actually a good alternative, that means wget can also get the job done as well. Can you explain why you are using ls -i rather than ls. Isn't the -i option for inode? – MyWrathAcademia Jul 6 '18 at 19:22
  • Just ls i* to list all files that start with "i". So confirming that the intelproducts.repo file does not initially exist. And that after the curl invocation it does happily exist. – steve Jul 6 '18 at 19:33
  • Ahh I see, you were using a wildcard, I mistook it for the -i option. – MyWrathAcademia Jul 7 '18 at 20:15
