I started getting this error recently on an existing installation, I didnt realise Google had retired the kubctl repository.

if installing new, just use step two below to use the k8s team repo instead of using the google repository. (see Install and Set Up kubectl on Linux | Kubernetes)

if anyone finds this, and like me already had kubectl installed, we just need to switch to use the newer repostitory and do an update

  1. sudo mv /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo.backup
  2. sudo cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo [kubernetes] name=Kubernetes baseurl=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/rpm/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.key EOF [kubernetes] name=Kubernetes baseurl=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/rpm/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.key
  3. sudo dnf update kubectl

this will then replace any existing installation.
