Fedora :: What Software Is Missing In Repository?
May 7, 2009
I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues.
Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well.

why the Fedora 7 Repository is missing? We run a number of Fedora 7 machines in the office and when I went to configure a local repository sync of Fedora 7, i noticed that [URL] no longer has any Fedora 7 packages? After looking at a few other mirror repositories, it seems this has synced down to the mirrors as well. Would like to know if anyone knows why this is the case and if the packages will be restored?

I just did a clean install of F15 (32-bit) on a brand new 500 GB hard drive (partitioned and formatted in Win 7 (long 1.5 hr. format, no drive issues). Install was minimal, just Gnome desktop, and I have 894 software updates to do. I've twice started the updates and got two transaction-error dialogs, the first of which I noticed mentioned the Rawhide repository, so I added it to software sources and restarted the update. The second transaction-error dialog lists these files in details
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libecal-1.2.so.9
xulrunner-6.0-2.fc15.i686 requires libhunspell-1.2.so.0
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libedataserver-1.2.so.14
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libebook-1.2.so.11 : gnome-shell-
[Code].....
but in which repository they can be found?

Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code:
Error Type:
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
[Code]...
It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

yum is completely broken. I cannot install or update any software. yum is always throwing:
Code: Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-12&arch=x86_64 error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 7 - "" Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmfusion-free. Please verify its path and try again I have tried globally to disable the gpg check as stated in other threads. I have no proxies or such in yum.conf or in my bashrc. If I manually click on the link it will resolve in firefox so I am sure it is not my net connection per se, it seems yum or curl is adding a : to the end of the url thats why it wont resolve properly.
I have done a yum clean all , which didnt really help either. reinstalling the rpmfusion repos isnt an option either as I start getting curl errors in the terminal. I am really at a loss here and am completely out of ideas as I cant install any updates or software , at first I thought the repositories were having problems with the holidays but this has been going on for 4 days now. /var/log/messages isnt showing anything either.

I updated my up to date F12 to F13. I have what must be a 640X480 display with no way to change it. I get an error:
"Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: pgdg90. Please verify its path and try again" on all Yum commands so no yum installs are possible. I don't have the /usr/bin/GLX command So theAIGLX doesn't work.

Today I've setup Debian Squeeze for netbooting with tftp-hpa and isc-dhcp-server. I have also downloaded-only all gnome packages (apt-get install -d gnome) and setup a small apt repository for base system and gnome on the same pc (server).However, my small apt repository is missing debian installer components like libc-udeb, dmsetup-udeb, ppp-modules-udeb, etc. The question is: Where to obtain those packages and their dependencies? I cannot find or download them with apt-get nor aptitude.

I recently registered a Red Hat 5 machine. It registered ok and was able to do a yum update. Now, yum update gives this error:
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
There was an error communicating with RHN. RHN support will be disabled. Error communicating with server. The message was:
Temporary failure in name resolution
Could not retrieve mirrorlist <red hat mirror url here>error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmforge. Please verify its path and try again I can ssh into the machine, and I can open up Firefox and browse the web. I have another Red Hat 5 machine set up and working fine, and I've checked that the /etc/yum.conf, /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, .bash_profile, and /etc/hosts files are all the same (except for hostnames and ip addresses). I'm fairly new to Red Hat, and I don't know what other configuration files to check.

After moving to Lucid, I have no flashplayer. Eventually, I tracked the problem to a missing Cannonical repository. I inserted the line in the sources list: [URL] Now Synaptic reports:
E: Type [URL] is not known on line 45 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I have re-checked everything I can think of, and remain baffled!

I have Fedora 12 (kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686) installed on my machine. This was a new install, not an upgrade from 11. I am getting the following error when I try to use yum (such as yum update):Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu...rors-freshrpms error was 14: HTTP Error 404 : http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu...rors-freshrpms Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: freshrpms. Please verify its path and try again
When I go to the website mentioned, I see that there is no linux/12/ directory. Is there another website I should be pointing to? Or more generally, how do I fix this? I read another thread relating to a problem with the metadata and tried the fixes suggested (yum clean and yum -y remove yum-fastestmirror). There was only limited improvement with this.I am new to Linux so I'm not sure what else would be helpful here. I did do the yum repolist command.

I've made a terrible mistake that I changed files in /etc/yum.repo.d and /etc/yum.conf.Now I can't get update by yum update, saying that ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again. Now I'd like to reset everything to default.What can I do now?
