Description Dax Kelson 2006-12-18 20:11:41 UTC
Description of problem:

I setup a repo with the following:

[RHEL5-Server]
name=RHEL $releasever - Server - $basearch
baseurl=file:///net/server1/export/netinstall/RHEL5/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-beta

Commands like "yum list" and "yum search foo" work fine. However, when I try to
install something, it blows up:

# yum install bind-chroot
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

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

I opened a yum bug upstream at:
https://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=677

Comment 1 Dax Kelson 2006-12-18 21:02:45 UTC
According to upstream this will be fixed in yum at some point. 

Being able to use the same directory tree to install from with anaconda and then
use with yum is extremely useful in a isolated network without RHN (not at all
uncommon).
