YUM Syntax?
I'm trying to use yum to install my packages but I must be doing something wrong.. No matter what package i try to install i get the message"
"Cannot find a package matching synaptic-0.48.2-2.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm No actions to take" (replace synaptic with the name of the package) This happens with EVEY package i have tried to install so far.. Im typing in the terminal (logged in as root) "yum install (packagename)".. Thanks in advance!! |
what you did was entirely correct.
The message is basically telling you that synaptic was not found in the YUM repositories. With fedora you have fedora-updates fedore-core and something else. You can add additional repositories to gain access to additional software. You do this in your /etc/yum.conf file. Do a search for how to do this. You will have to download and install the package yourself. You can find rpms from http://rpm.pbone.net/ Click on Advanced and you can select only your distribution to search for. |
