    My ibm.repo file looks ok

    enabled=1

    I verified that I am able to ping 8.8.8.8

    PING reply 1 from 8.8.8.8 took 11 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 117.

    I get an error using ACS to display update and available packages as well

    What version of IBM i are you running? Is this right after installing the bootstrap or after a package update?

    7.4 I installed using ACS a while ago and I was able to install everything I wanted. Work got in the way and I had not done anything with it for a while, so I tried the updates available and I got the error.

    What is the output of curl -vvv https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml ?

    You may be able to work around by

    • Editing /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d/ibm.repo and replacing https with http
    • updating yum , curl, and openssl*
    • Putting https back into ibm.repo

    But please gather that verbose curl output first!

    Sorry it took so long to respond. I missed the notification that this issue has been updated. When I type the curl command from your example, I get curl not found. -bash-4.4$ curl -vvv https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo/repodata/repomd.xml ?
    -bash: curl: command not found

    I am not sure where it would/should be found, but I checked in QOpenSys/usr/bin and indeed it is not there.

    Any suggestions about what I can do to get back to working order would be greatly appreciated

    I decided to re-run boostrap ( with the switch) I got the bootstrap successful message and yum update worked from ssh. hopefully this closes my issue

    FYI I am getting emails about this topic being updated WEEKS after the posting dates. I am not well versed in Bitbucket so I don’t know if that is due to my account settings or something else?

    I was able to view update and install via ACS., Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for your help
