更新yum为国内yum源

su - root

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/

mv CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Base.repo.bak

wget http://mirrors.sohu.com/help/CentOS-Base-sohu.repo

或者

wget http://mirrors.163.com/.help/CentOS6-Base-163.repo

mv CentOS-Base-sohu.repo CentOS-Base.repo

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*

更新完yum源后，建议更新一下，使操作立即生效

yum makecache

在执行最后一步，即yum makecache的时候，遇到错误：

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Trying other mirror.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: addons. Please verify its path and try again

原因是，http://mirrors.163.com/centos/6/addons/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml和 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/addons/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml 确实不存在，可能被更新掉了。解决办法是，找到可用的URL替换之，或者把相应的.repo文件中的项整个注释掉。这里我采用后者。

例如，在CentOS-Base-163.repo中，注释掉整个addon项

#[addons]

#name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons - 163.com

#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons

#baseurl=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/

#gpgcheck=1

#pgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

在CentOS-Base-sohu.repo中注释掉下面的内容

#[addons]

#name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons - sohu.com

#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons

#baseurl=http://mirrors.sohu.com/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/

#gpgcheck=1

#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5CentOS-Base-sohu.repo

然后，再执行yum makecache。之后，yum就可以找到我要安装的包了

yum upgrade

建议：不需要更新yum源，centos自己会找最近的yum安装
