I am using Fedora Core 4. While trying to install a package or update yum repository I get the following error
# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: legacy-base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from legacy-base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
tried to search the web but couldn't find any working solution.
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?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the first CD Image as instructed at [url] and installed it on my laptop. I would like to install the "Synaptic Package Manager" and a mirror repository so that my system can update.
I have apparently installed " apt-cdrom add" and then typed "apt-get update" and I tried to install the mirror when the system was installed but as the wireless was not connected it apparently did not add the correct details.
what is repository's ? do we need to install repository each time we install any package ?or cant we just say yum install package name ? & how to install tar.gz files ?

My question is: How to skip the installation of a package when using yum update from the command line? i.e., How would one update a system from command line and skip/not update kernel?

My system needs the pnm2ppa package for printer driver installation (CUPS). It can't be found, so I think, I have to add a repository. But what's the name/url? openSUSE 11.2 586
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy procedure for updating the installed packages was, to klick on the list of packages that are installed in the installation source @ system in YAST and choose "Update if newer version is available". Up to Suse 11.3 Yast automatically chooses the latest version from each available repository that is installed (eg, Packman or Mozilla Build Service). With 11.4 however, I noticed that it only updates a package, if a newer version is avalible in the repository from which the package originally origines. Since I don't want to look through 4 GB of packages manually, whether there are newer versions in another repository available, I ask you if I there is a posibility to get the old behavior of YAST back.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI cannot download the timezone RPM(and other RPM's) from several repositories(I haven't found ANY that will allow me to DL the timezone RPM's and I have checked 8 so far!) This breaks the update as it will stall on any of the undownloadable(new word for O.E.D. undownloadable) RPM's
This was noted in the thread Yast vs system tray.
I'm trying to figure out how to update the kernel in 11.4 from the repository. I have the stable repo added, but i'm not sure how to get it updated.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is probably not the best question i posted on a forum, but i want to make sure i got something right on the live-upgrade page (SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE)
It says: "Check if [URL] (replace 11.3 with your version)"
I have currently 11.3 installed and want to move to 11.4. Now when it says "replace 11.3 with your version" does that mean current or version that i am migrating to?
Worst thing is i have done this before (from 11.2 to 11.3, but am not sure how i interpreted it at that time)
YaST2 -> Package -> All Packages -> Update if Newer Available that YaST would install the most current in the highest priority repository. Given the example data below, I thought package A, version 01, which is currently installed from repository abc, would be updated to version 02 from repository xyz.
How do you get YaST to update packages from the highest priority repository?
Code:
Sample Data:
Repository: xyz package A Ver:02 priority:50
Repository: abc package A installed Ver:01 priority:99
I am trying to update four OpenSUSE 10.3 servers. This worked once on one server, but I have been unable to repeat that success. I use yast's Online Update to select repositories, but at the end of the repository refresh they keep coming back with 'No active update source is available. Exit Online Update now?' I get this error:
Download failed: File /repodata/repomod.xml not found on media: [URL]
It appears to connect to remote repositories, but always fails. Is it realistic for me to expect to update 10.3, or is it a lost cause? I am not ready to jump to 11 yet, but I am required to update them. I am a newb, so I am not clear on the process. Are package versions locked in place for specific versions of OpenSUSE? If so, how can I find out what the final versions were for 10.3 so that I can at least tell my auditors that they are as up-to-date as they can be?

I've noticed that Synaptic shows VLC 1.0.6 as the latest version of VLC. Except this is not true and 1.0.6 is way out of date. Version 1.0.6 does not even have a REPEAT icon button for the control panel. But newer versions do. Running Windows I can download VLC version 1.1.5 and make use of a REPEAT icon.Is there a way to update the repository? Or a way to tell Ubuntu developers that the VLC repository is way out of date and needs updating? I'm running 10.04 LTS--I thought this was supposed to deliver longterm updates?

How to update packages from Media Instead of Internet Repository. When I install package using the below command the packages are getting updated from Internet repository. How can I update the packages from media (ex fedora 12 dvd).
