Problem with epel

jonaskellens · 04-08-2015, 10:21 AM

Hello

I try to install the epel repository so I can install ejabberd.

I do not have epel, it seems :

Code:

[root@serv src]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-fasttrack.repo  CentOS-Media.repo  CentOS-Vault.repo  n2.repo

So I try to install epel :

Code:

[root@serv src]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100]
	package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed

But when I try to install ejabberd :

Code:

[root@serv src]# yum install ejabberd
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ftp.nluug.nl
 * extras: ftp.nluug.nl
 * updates: ftp.nluug.nl
No package ejabberd available.
Error: Nothing to do

Something is wrong with epel.

Someone (you?) has removed your EPEL repo config files. Uninstall then reinstall epel-release.

What do I need to uninstall and how do I do that ?

Just run

Code:

yum reinstall epel-release

The epel-release RPM is available in the CentOS repos, so that should find it. Or, you can manually download the RPM and run

Code:

yum reinstall /path/to/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

It should be in the epel repo.

No ejabberd in EPEL http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel...r_e.group.html

Used to be in this repo ...
ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/Ledest:/ErlangPro/CentOS_CentOS-6/
* The package is available from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3
... but may have "impossible" dependencies ?

`ejabberd 15.03' https://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads/
