Description of problem: I have installed FC5 with only some basic installation and wanted to Install some more packages after the installation was complete. I tried to install by using Add/Remove Software from the Applications menu. After the Package Manager application opens, a dialog box opens which says "Retrieving Software Information". After some time I get an error which says "Unable to retrive software information" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login into root user 2. Naviage to Applications > Add/Remove Software Actual results: Error dialog box appears with information "Unable to retrieve software information" Expected results: A list of Packages installed in the system have to be displayed Additional info:
Do you have a network connection?
I have got a DHCP configured and I can access the internet as well.
Could you tell any check list I can follow before I can try updating the software ?
Could you tell me if there is anything I have to see or check before I can try updating the software ?
This should be improved for FC6
