I assume you have SCL setup then. Can you wget the rpm from the same url?

sounds like a firewall or proxy issue maybe. I assume a normal yum install of other upstream packages is fine, i.e. `yum install vim`?

Hi,

No there is no proxy configured. And firewall and SELinux are disabled.  
Even I am able to install another package.

Thanks

No local repo server either right?

I can’t replicate in a container. Either we had a short outage or there is in fact something with your setup. Are you sure you don’t have a proxy server as @mjbludwig indicated? It could just be the environment variable `proxy_server`.

As a quick gut check you could `curl` that endpoint and see if it’s available (which repodata.xml is now). But I would guess that could help triage this issue - if it doesn’t work in yum, try hitting the URL with curl or wget. That’ll narrow the issue down.

Hello,

proxy\_server environment variable is “NULL” so I am sure there is no proxy setup in our environment. Output of the curl of repodata.xml endpoint.

Is there some other upstream firewall you might be behind, like a university or enterprise firewall upstream of your server?

You could test installing other software from a non-rhel hosted repository like salt: [Salt Project Package Repo](https://repo.saltproject.io/#rhel) (they have a typo there I think saying rhel 6 when they mean rhel 8)

Tried installing the Salt project repo which you mentioned on above I am able to install “yum install salt-master” application no error there.  
Do you have any other repository for onDemand which you can refer me.
