Penyebabnya adalah File /etc/yum.repos.d/gf.repo korup/ rusak. sehingga tidak bisa update.

untuk mengatasinya, silahkan jalankan perintah berikut:

rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/gf.repo

setelah itu jalankan perintah:

yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum

dan lakukan update kembali dengan menjalankan perintah:

yum update -y
