That will work.
I did it, so now what?
Reboot
and try it
See if that works.
sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf dsync
Will show if the repos are working then install your package.
I am changing the thread title to what the issue this turned out to be, âOM repos 404 not foundâ.
For information for all users encountering something similar to this:
Edit: For @SilentRanger copying the .repo file I posted should work just fine, then after doing that use Sofware Repository Selector aka om-repo-picker to enable or disable which repos you wish to use. For other users you can get someone to post a working .repo file and copy that or you could do the following:
Download for your OMLx branch and arch, using ROME (rolling repository) x86_64 as the example here:
Download from here: https://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/
Look for rolling if you use ROME or Rock if you use that and then your arch. Then navigate to the main release repo in this example here: Index of /rolling/repository/x86_64/main/release/
Find and download the .rpm for distro-release-repos in this example: https://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/rolling/repository/x86_64/main/release/distro-release-repos-25.04-4-omv2504.x86_64.rpm
Then you want to back up your existing .repo file in this example:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
ls
find your .repo file in this example we:
sudo mv openmandriva-rolling-x86_64.repo openmandriva-rolling-x86_64.repo.bak
So openmandriva-rolling-x86_64.repo.bak is the backed up file in case it is needed in the future. Then:
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the distro-release-repos .rpm and install that in this case like this:
sudo dnf in distro-release-repos-25.04-4-omv2504.x86_64.rpm
and that should rewrite your .repo file to the latest version available. Then you can open Software Repository Selector aka: om-repo-picker and set which repos you wish enabled.
Note: If you use znver1 just change x86_64 to znver1 in the commands.
Note-2: Obviously this applies IF the problem is something incorrect in the actual .repo file. There are other possible reasons why one might see 404 not found. For instance if you happen to try a dnf transaction while packages are being published or when developers are copying packages from cooker to rolling this results in the repodata being rewritten which dnf sees as â404 Not foundâ. But this is just a matter of waiting a bit and trying again. Or some server might be down, this is not common but also not never.
Yeah it just works perfectly fine.

No, we donât update like APT at all. --refresh is a necessary part of the dsync process. The metadata will update after the stale period, but if a UM is occurring against ROME then you will get 404âs. In some cases, that is a good thing because you wonât install things that are either out of date or have already been fixed in the dependency chain. Being in the chat rooms is the best way to stay informed about that.
During an install, a --refresh isnât completely necessary.
Aha, I see.
i do suppose itâs not om-welcome, as iâm getting the same exact error on gnome right now
iâm actually browsing the post to see if i can solve the issue myself 
OK, your system was working, so what changed?
i know it sounds weird, but i havenât touched anything, i just threw up a dnf update on the terminal, but all i get is

Youâve got the exact same issue.

NOTE: you canât paste the text from above. That is for ROME.
well of course i tried the same but related to rock, not to rome
So look at how @ben79 has the repos in 2 lines. You will have to fix yours to do the same thing. If you donât want to have to do them all, just do the ones that say
enabled=1
I am curious what changed to do this? One is Rolling and one is Rock. Something happened.
@247 how do you do your updates? Please tell me you use
sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all ; sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing 2>&1| tee dsync2-log.txt
and that you have the ~/dsync2-log.txt
I would really like to know what users are doing to get their .repo files messed up like this? We can not fix a problem if we donât know what the user with the problem actually did, all of it.
As @WilsonPhillips says there are 2 things are wrong there. This url is incorrect:
http:/abf-downloads.openmandriva.org
That has to be in every instance:
http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org
The the format of the 2 urlâs is incorrect it has to be like this in every instance:
baseurl=http://mirror.openmandriva.org/rock/repository/x86_64/main/release/
http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/rock/repository/x86_63/main/release/
Neither of these is optional, when I say it has to be this way take me seriously. Also there is no semicolon between the 2 urls.
Did you actually use sudo dnf update?
