FC1, "yum group*" commands

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, all -

First off, let me appologize for asking what might be such a dumb question.

I've become accustomed to using 'yum grouplist' in FC2 and FC2 to view and otherwise maintain available groups of packages installed on my system. However, when trying to do the same in FC1 with yum v2.0.5, it comes back with an error similar to the following:

Getting groups from servers
No groups provided or accessible on any server.
Exiting.

Is this because the group index really does not exist, or is it just something that is so out of date because FL has had other things going on, or am I using the wrong version of yum, or something - I'm not sure. yum.conf matches what it should be for Fedora Legacy support, so I don't think my problem is there.

From what I understand, anything in yum that has to do with the group arguments grabs a list, presumably in XML format, that links packages with their corresponding groups. Further, I understand that if this list is not found, not compiled, missing, or otherwise inaccessable, yum will drop dead with this error.

Is this something that should work, but is not for me, for some reason? Aside from doing QA, I would like to contribute to the Fedora Legacy project - so figuring out things like this might be where I can find my place.

Any feedback would, of course, be very much appreciated.

Thanks
-dant
