I am on CentOs 5.8 . Any ideas ? I have looked at lots of web sites, but none of the solutions for .repo file works
It seems CentOs has moved their Source RPMs to Vault ( vault.centos.org )
But i am not sure on how to setup the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-SRPMS.repo file
Any help would be appreciated
I suspect your source repo uses the wrong version, or is still configured as if Johnny et al wanted to make it less than a hassle to grab old SRPMs. Hit http://vault.centos.org/5.8/updates/SRPMS/ by hand, or adjust your /etc/yum.repos.d/foo.repo files to suit.

I tried to install this rpm software on my CentOS server:
[root#test software]# rpm -ivh nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
nvidia-340xx-kmod = 340.106 is needed by nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
Here to say I need this nvidia-340xx-kmod package before installing nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm package.
I try to go to another machine that can connect to the internet to view the rpm package that this nvidia-340xx-kmod package needs, and then I will download it and install:
yum install kmod-nvidia-340xx
But the dependency of the kmod-nvidia-340xx package is the nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm package that I just wanted to install.

Transaction Summary
As you see, here is a yum endless loop.
It should be noted that this CentOS server cannot connect to the Internet for some safety reasons.
Then this server can't mount a local source image, because the server room is far from my office room and I don't want to go to that room to use an external storage device to create a local source image, then the server's free space is not enough to save a centos image, free space less than 1G(forgive me this strange problem).
So my question is, I tried to install this package, but the lack of installation process prompts the lack of this package as a dependency.
How can I fix this?
It looks like they depend on each other, so you need them both installed at the same time. sudo yum localinstall *.rpm from the directory they're copied to should work.
I am trying to install a package on CentOS, but it throws error when I run the "yum" command. The internet connection is working fine.
I try to yum clean all but problem persist.
Error:
[root#dcos-master3 ~]# yum install ntp
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/$releasever/x86_64

BEFORE TRYING ANY OF THIS, HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR MACHINE, YOU COULD DAMAGE YOUR OS MORE/COMPLETELY
It seems that your yum variable $releasever is somehow corrupt,
it usually is caused by missing centos-release package on the machine for some obscure reasons.
You can check if you have the package by:
rpm -qi centos-release
You will probably see:
"package centos-release is not installed"
First find out the exact centos version that you have by executing as root:
cat /etc/redhat-release
You will see something like this:
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
You can fetch the centos-release package from repo by:
wget http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.3.1611/updates/x86_64/Packages/centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.2.5.x86_64.rpm
Now run reinstall centos-release package via rpm:
sudo rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.2.5.x86_64.rpm
As next you can try to install something with yum and you might get:
[root#dcos-master3 ikerlan]# sudo yum install wget
error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch
error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30969)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
CRITICAL:yum.main:
Error: rpmdb open failed
Now you can try to reboot the machine or try to use the following command to rebuild the rpm db:
rpm --rebuilddb
I came across the same issue while downloading some packages in centos 7. After days of search, I found the solution:
Go to the yum repo directory.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d.
Make a copy of the CentOS-Base.repo file.
cp CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Base.repo.old
Edit the CentOS-Base.repo file. Comment mirrorlist and uncomment baseurl.
vi CentOS-Base.repo
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
Now when you use yum, do the following.
sudo yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base install httpd
Likewise for yum update.
sudo yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base install httpd
It should work now.
I ran into this problem when attempting to install MariaDB on CentOS 7. I was super frustrated and after much searching found the answer at this link.
Here is what fixed this problem for me. Run as root.
# yum --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo epel install [package]
# yum clean all
"epel" can be whatever repo you like, but this one worked for me. Place [package] in the command just as written, not what package you are trying to install.
After you run the above, exit root and run whatever install you were attempting before encountering the error.
I noticed that in the failing url, your $releasever is %24releasever, but it should be 7 or 7.14.xx. Please check your yum config file at /etc/yum/var, or search in every .repo file, to see what is its value. It may be corrupted.
See Red Hat documentation for more information about how to set these variables.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/sec-using_yum_variables
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm -y
yum -y install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74
Then proceed to your installation/updates/etc
Always make sure NAT is active on your centos7. Specially when there is a VMnet2 for host. Because sometimes VMNet2 can be active instead of NAT and because of that you will not be able to connect to the internet through centos7. This is just a one reason for getting that error.
First off please dont instantly down vote as i am not experienced with building and running distributions via the command line its all foreign to me i am learning.
I have a server running on Centos 6 and i am trying to download and install a library called soundtouch.
here: http://pkgs.org/centos-6/epel-i386/soundtouch-devel-1.5.0-1.el6.i686.rpm.html
and here: http://www.surina.net/soundtouch/
I run
yum install soundtouch
and it runs and seems to install correctly
yum install soundtouch

Package soundtouch-1.5.0-1.el6.x86_64 is obsoleted by libsoundtouch-1.7.1-1.el6.x86_64 which is already installed
Nothing to do
But when i try to run the command
which soundtouch
/usr/bin/which: no soundtouch
or
soundtouch
-bash: soundtouch: command not found
And i check my /usr/bin/ folder and its not there? Can someone please advise where i am going wrong.
Thanks You
You did not install soundtouch package, yum is telling you that this package is obsoleted by libsoundtouch. You can check which files belong to that package:
rpm -ql libsoundtouch

Can someone help me install jdk1.6 or java-6-openjdk please?
The problem here is that you cannot use the Oracle rpm to install JDK 7 when you already have the Oracle JDK 6 as it tries to install the /etc/init.d/jexec script which is already installed and required for JDK 6.
I would advise sticking to the tarball or self extracting *.bin and using JAVA_HOME if you are going to use the Oracle distribution as it does not have this problem and you will probably not need jexec anyway.
In general I would suggest that you install the Oracle JDK not the OpenJDK. Otherwise you might risk running into some issues. I always found problems of all sorts and sizes with OpenJDK that I don't even bother trying it any more.
Download the JDK RPM from here and follow the usual instructions. Its usually very straightforward and without problems.
Full detailed instructions including how to install it here.
Make sure you choose the right version you need (JDK 1.7 or JDK 1.6, dont mix) because from your question you seem to have a confusion of library versions from 1.5 to 1.7.
And another thing, uninstall whatever you have installed already before installing a fresh one to avoid conflicts.
Check my answer here Transaction check error when installing Sun JDK 7
Basically you may use rpm --force to install one JDK on top of the other. This scenario is completely valid specially when you have to develop for different JAVA versions.
Just faced the same issue. I was not comfortable using --force command; did not want to risk messing-up the existing Java that came installed at system setup.
I ended up doing the following and running the app server with a different version of Java under a different user ID.
downloaded the Java tar.gz version and uncompressed:
tar -zxvf jdk-7u45-linux-x64.gz
Created the directory:
mkdir /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
Copied the contents to the new directory manually:
cp -r /.../jdk1.7.0_45/* /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
Set the java_home under the user ID home directory in .bashrc and .bash_profile files:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/lib/gcc:/usr/sfw/bin
sudo rpm -i jdk-11.0.9_linux-x64_bin.rpm
or whatever package you are trying to install
I am working for some years with debian on engineering/administration level and using apt as packetmanager.
Now I have to work with a RHEL and I need some quick overview of how to handle packetmanagement there. I know the rpm-tool but not very well.
I am looking especially for this:
- how can I link my local PM to a paket-repository in the internet or on CD
- is rpm just for single files (like dpkg) or also for managin (like apt-get: searching etc)
so apt on debian is very cool. is there something comparable in RHEL too??
cheers, chris
is rpm just for single files (like dpkg) or also for managin (like apt-get: searching etc)
Not quite. Rpm is for Redhat what dpkg is for Debian. The Redhat equivalent of apt-tools/aptitute is yum.
I am looking especially for this: - how can I link my local PM to a paket-repository in the internet or on CD
Redhat puts repositories in files, rather then a single sources.list file. You find those repo-definitions in /etc/yum.repos.d/. So see what repositories are available, you use the command yum repolist. For instance, this Scientific Linux system of mine it gives the following output:
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 6.416
sl Scientific Linux 6.1 - x86_64 6.251
sl-security Scientific Linux 6.1 - x86_64 - security updates 336
repolist: 13.003
If you want to add a repository, you either try getting a predefined file (hint: almost any 3rd party repository gives you an rpm which does everything automatically) or write your own repository defintion. Put it in a file called reponame.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/. This is an example from the EPEL project:
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
$basearch resolves to uname -m, so to x86_64 or i686. If you set everything up correctly (mandatory settings are name, baseurl and enabled=1), run yum update and check with yum repolist if your repository was correctly included.
Usually you'll only use yum; rpm alone is rarely used. If you're used to aptitude, yum won't be much of a challenge for you for the commands like update/upgrade/clean/erase are pretty much the same.
The yum documentation can be found on Fedora's webpage: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Software_Management_Guide/index.html
Good luck!
Alex.

There are various unofficial available for RHEL and if you are subscribed to RHN then you get the packages directly from Red Hat Network.
