Possible Solution 1: (which solve my problem immediately). Modify the the following.
# yum clean all # vim /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
enabled=0
Possible Solution 2: The good old yum clean all. (Clean everything)
# yum clean all Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror Cleaning up Everything Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
Possible Solution 3: Rebuild the yum database
# yum clean all # rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* # rpm --rebuilddb # yum updateHope this help.
