[SOLVED] Problems with YUM

davholla · 04-13-2011, 09:35 AM

I have Oracle enterprise Linux 5.

Whenever I try to install something via YUM I get

Quote:

There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
The program yum-complete-transaction is found in the yum-utils package

And

Quote:

Public key for yum-utils-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm is not installed

This is for all software

PS I have yum 3.2.22 and do not have yum-utils.
I have managed (without wanting to) to remove pirut as well.

Hi,

Have you interrupted a yum update/yum upgrade? That's why this error happens in my opinion. Delete contents from /var/cache/yum/ and try again.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Good suggestion above by Eric. You might want to perform the command :

$ sudo yum clean all <enter>

Thanks for the quick reply. However I tried all of those and still get
Public key for firefox-3.6.15-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm is not installed

Any other ideas?

I fixed it with this
rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS -5
