Can you do "yum grouplist" and "yum repolist" from the command line?
Yes I can do "yum grouplist" and "yum repolist" from the command line.
I am using yum to install software from local fedora and livna repositories.
I expected you could ... I meant could you post the output of those commands?
Here they are: [root@f22raptor Desktop]$ yum repolist repo id repo name status Fedora 8 Updates loc Fedora Updates Repository (Local) enabled Fedora-8-Base-local Fedora Base Repository (Local) enabled livna repository local livna repository enabled [root@f22raptor Desktop]$ yum grouplist Setting up Group Process Done
This same problem occurs even when removing a package.
Ok, so your local repos don't have the groups data from Fedora ... you can fix your problem by populating that information. We'll look at fixing this, but that'll be on a longer time frame.
How should I do that?? (populating that information)
So picking a random mirror, for GA of Fedora 8 on .i386 you have: http://mirror.hiwaay.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/repodata/ http://mirror.hiwaay.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/repodata/Fedora-8-comps.xml ...the second link being the group data, as from the repomd.xml file you have: <data type="group"> <location href="repodata/Fedora-8-comps.xml"/> <checksum type="sha">6b451ca21c05a7072ce2ee7f5af96d6ab3a1b0e8</checksum> <timestamp>1194013294</timestamp> </data> ...if you are generating your own repomd.xml file you'll want to use the --groupfile option, with that file, to put that info. in your own repomd.xml ... if you are just copying the repomd.xml files from the Fedora repos. you probably just need to download the groups data into your local repodata directory.
Thanks... FEDORA Rocks !!!
