Description Nivag 2010-10-01 00:38:28 UTC

Description of problem:
The web page gives an instruction to load 'xchat', but that package is not available for Fedora 14 beta

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. become root
2.yum install xchat
3.
  
Actual results:
No package xchat available.


Expected results:
a requst to install xchat is given

Additional info:
Linux jupiter 2.6.35.4-28.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 15 01:56:54 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There is a clash between what the web page claims and reality, from the perspective of Fedora 12 Beta

Comment 1 Matt Domsch 2010-10-01 04:18:05 UTC

That's quite odd, as xchat is clearly in the Fedora 14 repository...

$ rpm -qp --provides xchat-2.8.8-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm
xchat-perl = 1:2.8.8-4.fc14
xchat-python = 1:2.8.8-4.fc14
xchat = 1:2.8.8-4.fc14
xchat(x86-64) = 1:2.8.8-4.fc14

Nivag, please try:
sudo yum clean metadata
sudo yum install xchat

to see if that resolves the problem for you.

Thanks,
Matt

Hmm...

PEBKAC error, I had forgotten I had disabled the fedora.repo!

I'm rechecking with it enabled, but as my broadband is now running at about 7KBytes/second it will take over half an hour!

I wil update this accordingly later, but most likely this can be closed.

Moving to the correct component so fedora-websites doesn't get the emails.
