YUM install question
So I was trying to install transcode with Yum and I got a "Nothing to do" message, I really don't know what that all means, someone please explain that to me!
the output on my Fedora Core 3 box is this [root@localhost zack]# yum install transcode Setting up Install Process Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 797 kB 04:58 MD Read : ################################################## 2623/2623 base : ################################################## 2622/2622 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 348 kB 02:05 MD Read : ################################################## 897/897 updates-re: ################################################## 897/897 No Match for argument transcode Nothing to do |
That error means that there is no package called "transcode" in the yum repositories you have configured. You may want to add dags repository to your /etc/yum.conf.
|
If you are running FC3, you add a file to the yum.repos.d directory to set up a new repo. If you need help doing this, see this link:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27279 Add a few good repos to increase the number of packages available to you. |
that link to the fedora forum doesn't work, at all.

after doing some digging I managed to get an updated yum.conf and when I tried running the yum installer again, I got a different error, here is the output of "yum install transcode"

I got a bunch of different mirrors, so hopefully that should work. What am I missing here? Please help |
You have enough repositories setup, just comment out the dries repository so that yum doesn't use it.
