      Does anyone have an idea on how to work this problem?

      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
      
      file is encrypted or is not a database
      

      Did you try any of the things it said to try to fix it?

      I have no idea which repo is the culprit, so no I'm not going to just start disabling every repo one by one to see which is broken.

          No it specifically says unknown, the top of the list are the base repos, of which are all required for the system to operate. Which disabling those would be paramount to not receiving updates ever again.

            But you cannot update now either. So you can disable one, try it, put it back if not the one.

              This is true, but if I can't update currently, then the issue is with an upstream repo. It's not critical to update today for me. I was just checking to see if anyone else has seen this and worked with the issue.

                  Comment out each repo one by one and try update. That's about all you can do

                    Install yum-cron, set it up to email you when updates are installed and stop worrying about updates.

                      That doesn't fix a broken repo, you will still get errors

                        Commented each repo one by one in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and tried again with no change.

                        Since there are all of these CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo epel-testing.repo ius.repo remi-glpi91.repo remi-glpi93.repo remi-modular.repo remi-php70.repo remi-php72.repo remi.repo CentOS-CR.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Sources.repo epel.repo ius-archive.repo ius-testing.repo remi-glpi92.repo remi-glpi94.repo remi-php54.repo remi-php71.repo remi-php73.repo remi-safe.repo

                        I'm just gonna wait till later on and see if this is resolved upstream.

                          There can be more than one file in that directory. Make sure there are no other files

                            @IRJ In /etc/yum.repos.d there are all of these.

                            CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo epel-testing.repo ius.repo remi-glpi91.repo remi-glpi93.repo remi-modular.repo remi-php70.repo remi-php72.repo remi.repo CentOS-CR.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Sources.repo epel.repo ius-archive.repo ius-testing.repo remi-glpi92.repo remi-glpi94.repo remi-php54.repo remi-php71.repo remi-php73.repo remi-safe.repo

                            And I'm not interesting with going through and commenting each and every one of these, one by one to find out which is broken.

                                yum clean all && rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* && yum update

                                See if that helps.

                                      I also think you may be looking at the wrong file.

                                      In Ubuntu it is located here

                                      /etc/apt/sources.list

                                      You can also add sources by file here

                                      /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
