yum

Hi,

I have another question.When I try to install an app via yum,99% of the times it doesn't find the app.For example if I do

Code:

yum install blackbox

it says

Code:

Error:Bad repository file ///etc/yum.repos.d/atrpm.repo.
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
No match for argument:blackbox
Nothing to do

Is this normal?Or does it fail to find the package because of that error?

Thanx in advance

Which Fedora Core do you have? What repositories do you have enabled? Can you post your /etc/yum.conf and all the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum

logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
# We don't want to gpg-check local, unsigned packages
#gpgcheck=1
# Changed this because some mirrors go down and then
# re-trying takes forever.

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

There are two files in my yum.repos.d.:atrpms.repo and CentOS-Base.repo.Thanx for trying to help

try to find it on your yum folder... base and for mirrors... move those files on /etc/yum.repos.d

Post the contents of your /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpm.repo file. These *.repo files contain information that YUM uses to find the repository like URL addresses and such. Your yum.conf file does not conain any information about any repositories.
