Using Yum to install xinetd on Fedora12 and getting error.
Ok, so the subject pretty much says what my problem is, but let me state it again.
I am trying to install, using yum, xinetd to my fedora12. I get this error when I type yum install exinetd Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again I am doing this for a lab for my class and can not find anything current on this subject. Let me also say that I have had a lot of problems with doing my labs for some reason. I have reinstalled Fedora12 several times and keep coming up with some sort of problem when I try to do my labs. This is just the most recent one. I'm at wits end and thought I would post here to see if anyone can help... Thanks! Scorp |
1. I'd expect xinetd to be part of the base install TBH.
2. the turnover in Fedora versions is approx every 13 mths and I believe F14 is current and F15 close to release. This means that the repos for F12 are no longer updated and may not even be available. 3. for a long term support free version of RHEL https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...terprise_Linux, try Centos https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Centos HTH |
You can write a fixed 'baseurl', pointing to 'the old archive'
[fedora] name=Fedora baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/ enabled=1 [updates] name=Fedora-update baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/12/i386/ enabled=1 ... Or better, use a long term supported OS : The EL 6 copy SL 6 is based on Fedora 12 http://www.scientificlinux.org/ |
