IBM ACS Open Source package manager -- broken

[mikebohlen]

I was updating some of my open source packages and lost connectivity during some of them. I now have 2 entries in the list one with a version and one saying installed. I have also tried using yum to fix it up with no luck and now when I try and use YUM to list the repolist I get this:

system@development:~$ yum repolist ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] FTP Error 550 - Access denied: 550 Trying other mirror. repo id repo name status ibm ibm 0 ibmi-base IBM i base 0 ibmi-release IBM i 7.4 0 rpms.sobo.redibmi added from: http://rpms.sobo.red/ibmi/ 0 repolist: 0

That is for the old repo file. Please refer to https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/IBM_REPOS.html#what-should-i-do-with-the-existing-ibm-repo-file

Note that the IBM download server no longer supports FTP, which is why you're getting this error message now.

Yep, that took care of the repo connection, now just need to fix the entries that are duplicated and say installed, this happened when I was updating some packages and it hung until it eventually timed out

[mikebohlen]

already tried yum-complete-transaction

[mikebohlen]

I can not reinstall or remove

Also, this seems to be happening more freq. I now have 2 more lpars where packages hang during Update and it appears random, where it can happen to any package.
