[SOLVED] How to recover deleted yum.repos.d in Centos OS?

Issue

I accidentally deleted the yum.repos.d on centos 8(version centos-release-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64.rpm) and since then I am observing

**Error:There are no enable repos**

I tried to yum reinstall http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64.rpm but I am observing the message

"Could not find the host".

Anybody kind enough to help me out?

Edit:

I got the "Could not find host" part resolved, I am getting "SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL" instead now.

If it cannot be reversed, can anyone help me to install Python2 without yum or dfn. That will also do for me.


Solution

You should be able to restore the yum repository configuration by reinstalling the related package via rpm:

rpm -iv --replacepkgs http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-release-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64.rpm
