Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: AMBARI.2.4.0.0-2.x. Please verify its path and try again [root@sandbox maria_dev]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d [root@sandbox yum.repos.d]# cp sandbox.repo /tmp cp: cannot stat `sandbox.repo': No such file or directory [root@sandbox yum.repos.d]#

I tried these commands in the root

[root@sandbox maria_dev]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
[root@sandbox yum.repos.d]# cp sandbox.repo /tmp
[root@sandbox yum.repos.d]# rm sandbox.repo

I am using HDP 2.5

Answer 1

After deleting a repo try

yum clean all

Then try again.

Also suggest, listing the files in the directory since your error says it doesn't exist:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d 
ls -al

Answer 2

I had the same problem so I followed the same strategy deleting every file the error mention, I just did the same thing you did deleting sandbox.repo and copying them somewhere safe for backup. I d like to mention that I just started learning about big data and Hadoop ecosystem, this method worked and I installed python-pip on HDP 2.5 but I don't know if I'm going to face problems in the future caused by deleting those files.
