Linux RPM repository returns 'Not found' - Ferdora 25, 26, 27

Hi, the online rpm repository for updating is not found, the yum repository configuration

/etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo

[adobe-linux-x86_64]

name=Adobe Systems Incorporated

baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux

However the url http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/  doesn't work, it returns 'The requested URL / was not found on this server.'.

When I try to update

$ sudo dnf check-update

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'adobe-linux-x86_64', disabling.

Will adobe bring the repository back ?

Thanks

Claudio

Correct answer _maria_

I tested 4 different countries in different parts of the world and they all use the non-working IP address.  I tested 3 locations within the U.S. and they all used the working IP address.  I'm escalating this now and will post an update when it's fixed


Hi all,

This issue has been fixed.  Using DNF (outside the U.S.) to download Flash Player is now working.

What linux distro are you using?

Using RedHat linux, I was able to update Flash Payer, using the RPM repository with the YUM command yum install flash-plugin

This test system doesn't appear to have dnf on it, as the dnf command returned an error.  using yum check-update updated the repositories.

<edit>

using Fedora 24:

- launch terminal

- change user to su and enter password

- type: dnf check-update

result: adobe repository appears to be updated .  Here is the terminal window output:

[labuser@localhost ~]$ su

Password:

[root@localhost labuser]# dnf check-update

This system is fedora 25. DNF replaced yum as package manager, DNF is YUM and RPM compatible.

I have been updating flash-plugin for the last two years with DNF.

Can you display the contents of your adobe repository, the path should be similar to /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo

Thanks
