The RPM repo has this file:

- [https://repos.influxdata.com/stable/x86\_64/main/repodata/repomd.xml](https://repos.influxdata.com/stable/x86_64/main/repodata/repomd.xml)

And it’s contents don’t match the actual repo index files available for download here:

- [InfluxData - Package Repository](https://repos.influxdata.com/stable/x86_64/main/repodata)

So `dnf` and `yum` can’t download the repo metadata and throw 404 errors:

```auto
$ sudo dnf update
InfluxData Repository - Stable 45 B/s | 18 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'influxdata':

```

`dnf` and `yum` find the repomd.xml file, but can’t download any of the index files in there because none of them exist in the repo.

We’re experiencing this as well. The repomd.xml file has a different date than the other files which mean it was not generated with the same “createrepo .” command. Someone just needs to rerun “createrepo .” in that repository.
