Fedora :: Finding The Repo An Installed Package Came From?
Dec 14, 2010
I have installed a package on Centos 5.5, and need to find out the repository it came from, so I can enable the source rpms for that particular repository, and download the source, and rebuild the package. Is there some way using yum or rpm to find out which repo the installed package came from? I know Smart PM shows this info, but it has been hanging on Centos 5.5, for some strange reason, so that's not really an option for now.
I just installed a package using the System -> Administration -> Add/Remove s/w tool.
How can I find information about what files it has installed and where? I was expecting to get some header files from this package but cannot find them in the normal places like /usr/include etc.
I recently upgraded two servers to F10 from F9 and one of them is having an issue where package-cleanup is showing 13 packages which are incorrectly orphaned (no longer in the repo). Has anyone seen this before and know how to resolve this? Is it simply because the packages are listed in the repo as "fc10" vs "fc9"?
I am trying to install printer drivers from canon (current package in F12 repo doesnt include drivers for MP270). These rpms have a few prequisites and testing those failed.
Code: [root@fed cnijfilter-mp270series-3.20-1-i386-rpm]# ./install.sh Canon Inkjet Printer Driver Ver.3.20-1 for Linux Copyright CANON INC. 2001-2009 All Rights Reserved. Execution command = rpm -Uvh ./packages/cnijfilter-common-3.20-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libpopt.so.0 is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.20-1.i386 However the relevant package (popt) IS installed.
Code: [root@fed cnijfilter-mp270series-3.20-1-i386-rpm]# find / -name "libpopt*" /lib64/libpopt.so.0.0.0 /lib64/libpopt.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpopt.so Made a libpopt.so.0 symlink in /usr/lib64 too, to no avail.
I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?
i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.
When I install some packages Yum seems to behave correctly until the the very end when it gives the error: xxx-package was supposed to be installed but is not! I am lookng for any advice which might solve the issue. Below is an example of the yum output.
Since a few days I do experience the following PackageKit error: Code: PackageKit Error repo-not-available: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium '[URL]' I googled a number of similar posts but no solution/answer so far.
I just installed a package with yum but I can't find any files associated with it. My question: is there a way to make yum tell you which files were installed from a package?
I have a local repository, and declare also a remote one, I want to tell to apt-get to install a package from a local repo, if it exists. it seems that it begins from the remote. here is my sources:
deb file:/home/CD1 squeeze main deb file:/home/extra6 / deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free contrib
I would like to make a script that determines if a particular package is installed or not. Is there a built in way to do this with rpm or am I looking at getting down and dirty with learning parsing tricks with bash?
So I'm playing around w/ some Cisco equipment and needed a quick tftp server. Go to command line and type yum install tftp-server. I get No Package available! I can clearly see it here on the i386 repo. Any ideas?? In the meantime, I'm just going to upgrade this lil 600m laptop to CentOS 6 to quickly solve the problem but I thought it was curious.
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 at work and have a sudden need to install a newer version of python-support (> 0.9.0) than is currently available in the repo (0.8.7) for my Ubuntu version. Upgrading to 9.10 is not an option as we are planning to jump to 10.04 LTS in the next few months and I am unable (unwilling) to mess with a complete upgrade prior. Is it possible for me to upgrade to the newest version of python-support - or is this package OS version specific? Assuming it's possible, how might I go about the process of upgrading?
I used to share my internet connection for my palm via bluetooth dund on opensuse 10.1. Now I upgraded to opensuse 11.2, and have been trying to configure the same for 5 hours, without success. The problem is: dund seems to be in bluez-utils, but this package does not seem to be available from the official opensuse 11.2 repo. It is available from an unofficial one, but that is version 3.x and it conflicts with the version 4.x package of bluez. So, I either have bluez 4.x or bluez-utils 3.x, whilst I would need both.
Is there a solution for this problem, or any other way to share internet via bluetooth? (All previous howtos seem to be rendered useless with the recent "developments" of bluez, but, hey, file sending to my palm still works to some extent, so, there is much room for more "developments" until bluetooth is rendered completely unuseable).
Edit: In a changelog at a RedHat site, I found that the bluez-utils package was integrated into the bluez package, and later some tools like dund were split out into a bluez-compat package. Maybe the same happened to bluez in opensuse, too. But I have both the bluez and the bluez-compat packages installed, and hcid and sdpd are nowhere. Where did they disappear during the very important re-organization of bluez tools?
Edit2: Kind of solved. Hcid was renamed to bluetoothd, and probably the other tools and config files changed names, too. Old howto's are in fact useless, and I am about to sacrifize my next days in order to become a blootooth expert just to configure this wrecked internet sharing.
I had added a repo from this site: [URL]...now, i have removed the repo as i dont want to use the software anymore, but how do i make sure that i have removed everything on my pc installed from that repo?

I have a Qr barcode to decrypt and to do this I installed from the official ubuntu repo the software needed. The problem is this: I can't see the software in any menu. From shell I know how to create a Qr barcode, but I'm unable to decrypt one. Someone have any idea about how to do it from CLI or in any other way?
I was surprised that I couldn't find a evolution-mapi package for openSuSE 11.4 on the install CD, network repos or the openSUSE build service site. I could find one for 11.2 but not for 11.3 or 11.4. It is available on Ubuntu and Fedora.
I just installed kubuntu and am having troubling finding the Adept Package Manager. All the tutorials I've found suggest that it should already be installed. I've looked in the Applications > System, searched for it and tried running it with the command line (kdesu adept). I've looked briefly online didn't see anything that jumped out as the right thing to download. Should it already be installed or where can I find it?
Why is it that some software isn't in the Ubuntu Software Center's installed software list and must be searched for. Is the presented list a comprehensive list for applications only, or does it categorize software some other way. I am a bit uncertain about this since both image magick (a command line "application) and xvfb needed to be searched for in order to appear. Is their a way to get a complete listing of different types (and if necessary all) of the software installed on your system.
First of all, I am pretty new to linux and I have 2 install a USB OVer IP software. I downloaded the software for UBUNTU n I really do not know where to find the installer. I want to find the source code in the package too.. its an open source project. So I believe the source codes are included in that .
i have to use lh command. I have installed all updates for ubuntu, live-build (the package for lh) and its updates. So my system is fully updated.When i hit "lh" command i get the following message: The program 'lh' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install live-build
When i do type: "sudo apt-get install live-build" i get:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done live-build is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
