Cannot install package using yum in RHEL5
 

Dear Friends ,

I cannot install the package using yum i RHEL 5 . When I install a rpm then it shows the following error :


[root@server ~]# yum install dovecot
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linu...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-2, 'Name or service not known')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: rhel-debuginfo

My rhel-debuginfo.repo file is below :


[root@server ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo
[rhel-debuginfo]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug

Would u plz help me why it's not working ?

Do you have a subscription to Redhat? If not, that's your problem. If so, use your support and call Redhat

thx friend , you r right . I have no RHN account . But in fedora I can use yup without any registration . so that I think I can do it in RHEL like Fedora .

ok thx for ur reply ... ...

for RHEL 5.3 YOU need to buy $$$$ tech support AND to get the updates

install CentOS 5.3 or pay Red Hat .
