I have server with Cent 6.3 and yum is configured with default settings. When i perform yum install "package", it always fails after downloading the packages. Proxy setting also fine, but not sure it fails to install the packages. Please help me to solve this issue. Below is the output of "yum install pam.i686".

Hi


#rpm --rebuilddb -I Never find any db file created after rebuilding YUM

Check your /etc/yum.conf whether you had excluded package from installing

Hi
I have pasted the yum.conf file below. Also i have tried with "gpgcheck=0" but still no luck.

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata

# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
