Invalid status for listed available repository IDs

Troubleshooting


Problem

Command yum repolist shows status 0 due to multiple .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d

Cause

Multiple repository definition .repo files

Diagnosing The Problem

List available repositories:

[root@nzhost-ha1 repodata]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
repo id               repo name                    status
IBM                   IBM Netezza Yum Repository   0
PDA_Official_Mirror   rhel5-security-stream        0
repolist: 0

Review contents of directory with repository definition files:
[root@nzhost-ha1  upgrade]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@nzhost-ha1  yum.repos.d]# ls
ibm_yum.repo  redhat.repo  rhel-debuginfo.repo  yum_netezza_com.repo

Resolving The Problem

Remove obsolete .repo file(s) or rename file(s) without .repo extension, then run:
yum clean all; yum repolist

E.g.
[root@nzhost-ha1 yum.repos.d]# yum clean all; yum repolist
