Fedora Installation :: Add / Remove Software / No Package Cache Is Available
Jan 28, 2009
I now want to review and possibly remove some software with the Add/ Remove Software Tool. When I try to locate installed packages I get an error that reports 'No Package Cache Is Available'. It also says 'the package list needs to be rebuilt', 'this should have been done by the backend automatically'. When I click on 'More Details' it says 'Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify it's path and try again'.Can anyone please explain what's going on, and what I need to do to get the package list rebuilt?

how should i remove a package in a local cache? i tried removepkg packagename.txz and itdeleted its files. but then i tried to install it back, it says its in the local cache so it didn't download the package but instead it installs it right directly. i want it to downloadit once again because the package isn't working.

I am using Fedora 11 64-bit. The problem is, when I start to install any updates or new packages, the system return the following error:No package cache is available.The package list needs to be rebuilt.This should have been done by the backend automatically.
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again.I am completely new to linux, meaning I have never, ever, used a linux based system. I have recently accustomed to myself with only the basic commands (ls, yum, help, g++ etc.)

Is there anyway to show package size that comes up in the search so you don't have to apt-get install package individually and wait for the installation initiation and then reject to install after it gives u the [y/N] confirmation thing?

I don't understand this error nor do I know how to solve the issue that is causing the error. Anyone care to comment?

I know JohnVV. "Install a supported version of Fedora, like Fedora 11". This is on a box that has all 11 releases of Fedora installed. It's a toy and I like to play around with it.

I downloaded RealPlayer and tried to install it. Well the install screwed up and now I am trying to remove it and I'm not sure how. I just tried to just reinstall it by double-clicking on the rpm file and it give me an error saying it already installed.

i installed a package with dpkg --install and told it to ignore an unmet dependency because the package it depended on could not be installed with apt-get (it was a perl module) and i have manually installed the perl module, it works... however every time i do "apt-get upgrade" or anything like that it wants to remove the package i forced to install because it still thinks there are unmet dependencies, is there a way to either tell it to ignore that the package has unmet dependencies (i mean ignore that always, not something i will have to add every time i use aptitude) or is there a way to convince it that the package it thinks is missing (the unmet dependency) is actually met.

I installed ubuntu 10.4 on a lenovo T500 yesterday.
Today I am almost sure to have a problem with the fglrx package.
Today I installed the graphics card accelleration driver - I think it is the fglrx, but I am not shure, because I used the gnome fancy gimmick offering this driver. Now the computer starts neither in normal mode nor in recovery mode. In the latter it displays very fast about two screens of the usual lines and changes then something with the display. Trying to use boot=/bin/bash as an additional boot parameter didn't work either. I even tried typing blind a login and something like "apt-get remove fglrx <return><return>".
Booting from CD works.
Here my questions: When I have booted from CD, can I see the synaptic history to verify that it actually is the package named above? When I have booted from CD, can I remove packages from the installed version?

i wanted to install zsnes emulator on natty 64, but it turns out there is no such package. so i tried zsnes_1.510-2.2ubuntu3_i386 using "force architecture" command but it failed due to dependencies problem. later i found amd64 version of zsnes deb package. now when i try to install it it says "it's not co-installable with zsnes:i386 1.510-2.2ubuntu3 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed". i cannot find zsnes:i386 package in synaptic, removing or purging the package doesn't work (Virtual packages like 'zsnes' can't be removed), cleaning cache with apt-get clean doesn't change anything.

Recently tried to install a new Wine package, but the install failed, so I removed it and reinstalled the old one. That installation also failed, and now the package is in a half-installed state and can neither be installed nor removed. I'd be most grateful for some help - I miss my Wine!
# apt-get install 0.9.47~winehq0~debian~4.0-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: The package wine needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
# apt-get remove 0.9.47~winehq0~debian~4.0-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: The package wine needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
What does it mean by "an archive", and where can I find one?

I would like to tell apt, "hey, take packageA out of that list, cause I really need it, and I do not want to reinstall it out of fear it may mess up the configuration of that very same package".Anyone know what program and option I would use to accomplish such a task?(couldn't find anything interesting under the `apt-get` command.)

I don't know why I can't get listed the installed and not installed packages in the "Add and Remove Software" utility in Fedora 11 with KDE Desktop. I have already used it with no problems, but for some reasons I had to reinstall the system, and I got this problem since then. So, I can't remove packages because the list is empty (picture attached), and for the same reason I can't add new sofware from the Installation DVD.

I frequent update and install packages on a lots of machines using apt-get update and install.
I was wondering if I can just update and install on one machine and then copy those cached file
undar /var/cache/apt to other machine, so I can save downloading time while do apt-get install.
I tried, but seems apt-get ignored those files and downloading from source anyway. Any idea?

Since the Fedoraplus site is down, I alternatively downloaded the FC14 version in hopes that it would work. Instead, I now receive the following error any time I try to remove or install a package via yum:
Code:
[Errno 22] invalid mode ('w') or filename: '//var/lib/yum/rpmdb-indexes/conflicts.tmp'
I'm pretty sure the issue here is a typo in a file (the extra "/" in the path to "conflicts.tmp").

When using apt-cache to find the reverse depends of a package, it would only show dependencies for packages in repositories that you have added wouldn't it? It wouldn't show that a package in a repository that your apt has never heard of depends on it?
I'm a slackware guy and don't use apt but am helping someone else and I almost told them that before I realized that I just made it up out of the blue.

I tried to upgrade to Leonidas from Cambridge, but didn't have enough space on the partition /, so I soft linked /var/cache/yum (or whatever) to a larger partition, but now the upgrade does not find the subdirectory called preupdate (it's there in the linked dir, checked). Is there any more sofisticated way around than changing parition sizes and copying and stuff?

Recently I have installed Fedora 10. It comes with firefox 3.xx by default. Now I was wondering if there is any way through which i can update it to 3.5 version though yum. I have tried yum update firefox but it did not work and returns following messages Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update I know that one way to update is download the latest Tar package and use it, but I want to totally remove my previous installation and use solely one package i.e. firefox 3.5.

I was laughing about klackenfus's post with the ancient RH install, and then work has me dig up an old server that has been out of use for some time. It has some proprietary binaries installed that intentionally tries to hide files to prevent copying (and we are no longer paying for support or have install binaries), so a clean install is not preferable.
Basically it has been out of commission for so long, that the apt-get upgrade DL is larger than the /var partition (apt caches to /var/cache/apt/archives).
I can upgrade the bigger packages manually until I get under the threshold, but then I learn nothing new. So I'm curious if I can redirect the cache of apt to a specified folder either on the command line or via a config setting?
