It seems the command to create a YUM/DNF repository on a Fedora system is not compatible with YUM/DNF on CentOS 7, so the latter can't read the repository information produced by the former. I have now recreated the repository using CentOS 7, and it looks like it is now possible to install on CentOS 7. On 29/12/2023 18.37, Ariel Abadi wrote:

Can anyone help!? or had an idea how to solve this?

 One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),  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=<repoid> ...

     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 <repoid>         or             subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>

     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=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
