trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Have you tried using the complete name of the package you are trying to install instead of using shell expansion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harinath Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I used the complete name of the package but it throwing the same error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyfromfl Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 yum only gives you packages for the distro you have plus i think the previous 2. so if you are using distro 7 but latest is 10 you cant get anything through yum any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder could you use rpm to remove and reinstall yum. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder could you use rpm to remove and reinstall yum. -steve Yeah, I think that might be the go. Looks like your yum might be broken if its generating syntax errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harinath Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 but i have to remove my older one and again I have to install yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Your going to have to do some googling, reading & learning. rpm -qa Shows all listed installed packages. rpm -qa | grep yum Shows all yum packages installed. Your going to have to search and download a rpm package for either yum (if you want to try and fix it) or httpd. (RPMs available on http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/packages/index.html and other places too). Read: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
