I am unable to install rpms through yum
I am getting Missing Dependency error.
I have never got any errors in configuring yum, but this time nothing is going in my way.
This is the error, I am getting whenever any rpm has some dependencies.
Code:
[root@station1 Server]# yum -y install openssl*

The rpms showing missing in the above error actually exists when I check them through yum list command.
I have tried replacing rpms, configured it all over again; restarted yum/vsftpd services.
I thought of erasing and then re-installing createrepo rpm; here I believe is the problem.
I could not erase it; I got the message that it is NOT installed.
Code:
[root@station1 Server]# rpm -e createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm
error: package createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm is not installed
When I tried installing it; it says it is Installed.... wierd

The errors are very self-explanatory...have you read them?? The dependencies for the development libraries can't be satisified. You can either ignore the dependency errors, or upgrade the packages that are mentioned.

Right...the name of the package isn't createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm, but createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.

Satisfy the missing dependencies for the development libraries. It knows where things are and what's missing, so either provide them manually, or point to a different repository that has what you need. Should be a simple thing for an RHCE to sort out....
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
I see a handful of people trying to run RHEL without utilizing the RHN (for whatever reason), and I do not understand the point. If you have a paid subscription, then register and use the official repo. If you instead want free beer, then run CentOS.

Yes, I have read the errors. The package of missing dependencies are very much present in my /var/ftp/pub/Server

Right...the package is already installed and present. The remove command you ran didn't do anything, since you entered the wrong package name.
because it's strange that youe repos don't have the updated development packages.
I will surely post the output of yum repolist

I was just trying as I thought there might me some problem with the createrepo command. Although, I a made a silly mistake in the syntax of rpm -e 'package name'. I must have pressed tab while writing the command.
Got it - so you created your own repo by the sound of things.
Can you show what packages and their associated devel packages are in your repo so for example, looking at your errors, look at libselinux and libselinux-devel, e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs-devel, and krb5-libs and krb5-devel).

Ok..then this begs the question: If they're there, why do you have errors on just THOSE packages, rather then on them ALL?
Since you're getting very package-specific errors, rather than a 'global' type error, that points away from a YUM error, and one in your own repository. Either you have the wrong versions, or missing files.
And you're getting this too:

as anomie said...if you're paying for support, register and use it. If you're not, you should STOP using something you're not paying for, and use something free, like CentOS.
