아마도 오래된 버전이라 지원이 중단된거라고 생각하는데 이번에 구버전에서 테스트할 필요가 생겨 CentOS 4.3을 깔고 yum을 실행했더니 작동을 안한다.
[root@webmail ~]# yum install subversion

not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - 4 is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update
구글링 후 /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo를 편집하라는 문서를 찾았다. 이 파일의 주석처럼 baseurl= 줄을 uncomment 했다.
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
그러나 여전히 안된다.
[root@webmail yum.repos.d]# yum install httpd

URL을 직접 확인해보니 404.

CentOS 4.x 미러를 제공하는 URL로 CentOS-Base.repo의 baseurl을 바꾸고 mirrorlist= 줄은 comment 했다.
#mirrorlist=...
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/4.3/os/i386/
yum 성공.
