so... in other words...to really use yum effectively, you need to have a "reasonable" amount of knowledge about repositories (which ones are good/bad), about rpm files, about your system... what linux really needs is a good basic system that i as a basic user, can put on my box, tell it i want app x (or y), and it will more or less figure out what it needs to do, and go ahead and do it, with out screwing up my box in the mean time!!!!! thanks for the rant!! -peace.. ps. whoever really does thie effcetively, will have a serious business. because as far as i can tell, what i just described, doesn't exist... -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jim Perrin Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 4:12 PM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: Re: [Yum] hmmm my yum ate my computer. This is not a problem with yum, but a problem with the repository you're using. This error is telling you that the repository doesn't contain the package you need. Use a different repository, or another repository in addition. FYI: Not all repositories provide reliable packages(some people don't test, or are just ignorant of proper packaging) so be careful which repositories you use.
