CentOS mirrors, do NOT use repoforge installation Topic is solved

[dedanna1029]

I'm having issues updating and installing proggies using yum. It's been going on all day. I'm wondering if it's that I'm on such a slow connection, tethering with the phone (15 kbps). If that's what it is, is there a way to get it to accept a slow connection? Errors as follows when trying "yum install ffmpeg" from su -:

Anyone know how I switch to wget using yum, to see if that would work? I'm thinking it's got to be either the slow connection or curl itself. Thanks.

Edit: Never mind. Just so you know, never ever run: "yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo" - it enabled *just* elrepo, and disabled all of the CentOS repos (Base, Contrib, etc.) - I ran a "yum repolist all" and found that's what it had done. I also found an rpmforge testing repo enabled.

Actually, no.
I have completely deleted and reinstalled the rpmforge mirrors TWICE now, and they are where the errors are coming from. Check it out. These should ALL be .el6 files, but they are pulling in .el5 packages, and then the mirrors go bunk (and I used the supposed correct rpm [WARNING: direct download] to install the repo).
I've checked the repo file, and it is all correct, points to .el6 packages, right down the line:

This is NOT good. Whatever they're doing over there, they're on crack. I should be getting .el6 files, and all should be well, but it isn't. The problem being, I really need ffmpeg, and can't get it.

I know the .el6 packages are there (just have a gander at the repo itself online), but it's not pulling them in - it's pulling in .el5. If anyone has any clue how to get it to pull in the right .el6 packages, and get them to actually come down the pike, I'd be greatful. Even if you just have some clue of why this is happening, and can see it from the documentation here, it would be great. Thanks.

[jkerr82508]

I have no such problems. ffmpeg and numerous dependencies (el6 versions) installed without a problem. I followed precisely the instructions: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResour ... s/RPMForge

Now I've got ffmpeg and have no earthly use for it at all

Jim

P.S. This looks odd:

Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:

Try deleting /var/cache/yum/arch/6/rpmforge/repomd.xml

[dedanna1029]

Thanks, Jim. That's what I did as well. (See rpm link above - "the supposed correct rpm")

I've since uninstalled it a third time. I looked online at the .el6 packages, and saw that they don't even have all the dependencies for ffmpeg there. cppunit is missing, and a few others. Unfortunately, I have huge need for it.

Edit: However, it looks like this *may* have got it. We'll see later. Connection's very slow.

[jkerr82508]

The dependencies can be in other repo's. For example cppunit is in the centos base repo:

Code: Select all

yum info cppunit

Jim

[dedanna1029]

Well... the method above is working. It's pulling in all .el6 packages, with all the dependencies.

I think the rpmforge (repoforge, whatever) repo installation .rpm is hosed. I didn't even need one with this that I'm doing now. It's working much better, just to create the dag.repo file, and go from there:

Code: Select all

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel ffmpeg-libpostproc gstreamer-ffmpeg
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

<snip past all these damn mirrors>

<snip past processing dependencies, unnecessary to post and very long>

MUCH better...

<skipping the packages installing for the purpose here>

It all installed wonderfully.
Now I shall go see what other trouble I can get into with this... maybe run yum update with this enabled... lol, and, you're right. cppunit is in C6.2-base - and now the repos are working together.
Time for bed. School tomorrow. Take care, and thanks again, Jim.

P.S. This looks odd:

Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:

Try deleting /var/cache/yum/arch/6/rpmforge/repomd.xml

Yeah, that's kind of what leads me to the conclusion that the repoforge repo installation .rpm is hosed; either that, or the repodata on their end is wrong somewhere.

So, to resolve this, I used the instructions here, and did not use, in the end, the repoforge (rpmforge) repository installation .rpm file. There's something up with all that, and it bears investigating, but I'm not sure that they will. Then, I used the following to install ffmpeg:

Code: Select all

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel ffmpeg-libpostproc gstreamer-ffmpeg
