From what I know about yum, I can specify the name of an rpm, like this:
yum install zlib
I can also specify the whole darn name, like this:
yum install zlib-1.2.3-27.el6.x86_64
Is there a way to specify an intermediate filename? Such as just the name and version, like this:
yum install zlib-1.2.3
When I try, I always get
No package zlib-1.2.3 available.
Error: Nothing to do
Try throwing a * on the end:
yum install zlib-1.2.3*

when I use yum to install a package in centos, the error No module named '_repo' came out, what should I do to fix it?
thank you
well, there is not much info in the question. but still, I will try to provide you some tricks and solution,
first, find which package provides '_repo'
yum whatprovides _repo
install the dependency first (here it is _repo)
yum install _repo
if yum throws an error, use following command to rebuild the yum cache,
yum clean all
yum makecache fast
and then try 1 and 2 points again.
There are some Perl modules that could previously be installed with:
yum install "perl(DateTime)"
Under CentOS7. In CentOS8 I get the error:
No match for argument: perl(DateTime)
I have the same problem for perl(Template), perl(YAML::XS), perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) and perl(JSON::XS)
I tried searching with:
yum provides *DateTime*
But I can't find anything there either.
perl-DateTime is no longer part of the CentOS 8 base OS. You'll need to enable the PowerTools repository, i.e. as root
# yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
# yum update
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
...
PowerTools CentOS-8 - PowerTools ...
...
# yum install "perl(DateTime)"
or...
# yum install perl-DateTime
perl(YAML::XS) (AKA perl-YAML-LibYAML) should also be available.
perl(Template) (AKA perl-Template-Toolkit) and perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) (AKA perl-Crypt-Eksblowfish) no longer seem to be provided, not even in EPEL8. So you'll have to install them from CPAN.
I have downloaded a package with it's dependency and want to install a package with dependency. Even though i have download in local folder it's checking for online.
sudo yum -y --disablerepo=* localinstall autoconf-2.69-11.el7.noarch.rpm
I am trying above command but failed to load it's dependency that is there in same folder.
Thanks,
Hare
Inside the local directory where you have all the downloaded RPMs, do this:
sudo yum --disablerepo=* localinstall *.rpm
OR
sudo yum --disablerepo=* localinstall foo.rpm bar.rpm baz.rpm
Since you have downloaded all the dependencies to a single directory, you can also use rpm to install those:
sudo rpm -Uvvh *.rpm --test
--test does a dry-run. Remove it to install on disk.
Even if the solution provide by iamauser is very great (and I am using it all the time), I wish to give you an other way to do it.
It exists yum-downloader command which doing basically the same thing for you.
# yumdownloader <package> --resolve
You just have to download it first :
# yum install yum-utils
Overall, I suggest you to read this article from Red Hat company site's which details everything about those two methods :

On centos 7.3 minimal trying to install shapely or geopandas requires access to https://github.com/libgeos/libgeos libgeos.
Trying to install this via sudo yum install libgeos-dev tells me that this package is not available. It seems that I am lacking a repository. So far I have been unable to find a working one as http://trac.osgeo.org/geos is pointing to https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg96 for the RPM but still after rpm -Uvh https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm the installation candidate is not found.
It seems that for CentOS this package is called geos-devel and can be found through RPM Fusion.
yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm
yum install geos-devel

I'm working on a 64 bit centos 5.5 (Final) server
When I try to install pear it gives a dependency error
php-devel-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64 from base has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: php = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 is needed by package php-devel-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64 (base)
So I try "yum install php-common-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3" it says that this package is already installed
Package matching php-common-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64 already installed. Checking for update.
Nothing to do
I don't know what to do anymore
Can anyone give me a tip?
It's driving me crazy
when I try yum remove php-common-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64 it gives me the following
Package(s) php-common-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.x86_64 available, but not installed.
I don't understand what's wrong with yum
Try removing PHP and Pear, then try this from scratch as if your OS was new. It may help. Pear's a pain sometimes...
# yum install php
# yum install php-pear
# pear channel-update pear.php.net
# pear upgrade-all
Good luck!!
to refresh your system, you might try
yum reinstall php-common; yum install php-devel
