OSA AIO build fails on CentOS7 stable/pike during the first run with error:

Hello,

According to our triage conversation, we have more questions:

Was that a transient issue? Is the problem solved now?
Do you know which mirror was causing the issue?

Upstream COPR repo had issues, maybe that was the cause of this bug. Could we ensure it's the case or that it's solved now?

Hi,

I don't know if it is solved right now because setup is failing during 'TASK [repo_build : Wait for the venvs builds to complete]', but this has happened on every CentOS7 build I've done for at least the last 2-3 months.

How can I pinpoint the mirror? Can't find anything in yum logs.
