Symptoms

Unable to download package through yum.  One of the configured repositories failed (Oracle Linux 7Server Latest (x86_64)), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail.

Example:

# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: ulninfo
datadog | 2.5 kB 00:00:00
