Problem Reinstalling Yum 2.4 In FC4

bfooshet · 05-20-2006, 12:32 PM

When I attempt to reinstall Yum 2.4 with the "rpm -Uvh filename" command I get the error message "cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES" and I can't figure out what to try next other than the "rpmbuild --rebuild filename" command; which also did not work, and resulted in a "file not found" message. The exact filename is "yum-2.4.2-69.rhfc4.at.src.rpm" Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try to find an rpm that doesn't have 'src' in its name. You don't need a source rpm to simply install the app.
