One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS 7 Extended Lifecycle Support by TuxCare), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled yum --disablerepo=centos7-els ... 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable centos7-els or subscription-manager repos --disable=centos7-els 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=centos7-els.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/f15d9fc45c8cf493244d87ad5f94d6913d42afc6a0873c0679faece9b7f2e059-filelists.sqlite.bz2 from centos7-els: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. https://repo.tuxcare.com/centos7-els//updates/x86_64/repodata/f15d9fc45c8cf493244d87ad5f94d6913d42afc6a0873c0679faece9b7f2e059-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 401 - Unauthorized * 2026-04-13 10:20:47 (6782) [[33mWARN[0m] Running "yum clean all" in an attempt to fix yum * 2026-04-13 10:20:47 (10959) [[32mINFO[0m] Running: /usr/bin/yum clean all * 2026-04-13 10:20:47 (10960) [[32mINFO[0m] * 2026-04-13 10:20:47 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags, universal-hooks, versionlock * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Cleaning repos: EA4 cpanel-addons-production-feed cpanel-plugins MariaDB102 base * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] : centos7-els centos7els-rollout-1 centos7els-rollout-2 * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] : centos7els-rollout-3 centos7els-rollout-4 centos7els-rollout-5 * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] : centos7els-rollout-6 epel extras imhbase monarx updates * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] : wp-toolkit-cpanel wp-toolkit-thirdparties * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10990) [[32mINFO[0m] * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10959) [[32mINFO[0m] Running: /usr/bin/yum makecache * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10960) [[32mINFO[0m] * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags, universal-hooks, versionlock * 2026-04-13 10:20:48 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Determining fastest mirrors * 2026-04-13 10:20:49 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] * EA4: 184.94.196.93 * 2026-04-13 10:20:49 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] * cpanel-addons-production-feed: 184.94.196.93 * 2026-04-13 10:20:49 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] * cpanel-plugins: 184.94.196.93 * 2026-04-13 10:20:49 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] * epel: d2lzkl7pfhq30w.cloudfront.net * 2026-04-13 10:20:54 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] https://repo.tuxcare.com/centos7-els//updates/x86_64/repodata/f15d9fc45c8cf493244d87ad5f94d6913d42afc6a0873c0679faece9b7f2e059-filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 401 - Unauthorized * 2026-04-13 10:20:54 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Trying other mirror. * 2026-04-13 10:20:54 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] https://repo.tuxcare.com/centos7-els//updates/x86_64/repodata/dbac715cd314e90ad9f4f5151d1fb8f0e9bf9be8969bfa5424571754df0db750-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 401 - Unauthorized * 2026-04-13 10:20:54 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Trying other mirror. * 2026-04-13 10:21:52 (10973) [[32mINFO[0m] Metadata Cache Created * 2026-04-13 10:21:52 (10990) [[32mINFO[0m] * 2026-04-13 10:21:52 (2434) [[32mINFO[0m] Checking EasyApache profile compatibility with AlmaLinux 8. * 2026-04-13 10:21:53 (10069) [[32mINFO[0m] Running: /usr/local/bin/ea_current_to_profile --target-os=CentOS_8 --output=/tmp/pYla5t_SSn/ea_profile.json * 2026-04-13 10:21:54 (10092) [[32mINFO[0m] Backed up EA4 profile to /tmp/pYla5t_SSn/ea_profile.json * 2026-04-13 10:21:54 (264) [[31mERROR[0m] * Elevation Blocker detected: * Unable to determine running and boot kernels due to the following error: (XID c74mbg) Cannot update this systemâs kernel. * 2026-04-13 10:21:54 (264) [[31mERROR[0m] * Elevation Blocker detected: * The grub2-pc package is not installed.
