<div class="im">> The output is as :<br>> [root@mss-1 tmp]# rpm -qa |grep yum<br>> yum-arch-2.2.2-2.el5.kb<br><br></div>Strange. when I run that on my Centos 5.4, I get:<br><br> # rpm -q yum<br> yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos<br>
<br>which I would assume to be different than "yum-arch-..." I DO NOT find<br>yum-arch at all. Dunno what yum-arch contains, but I wonder if it is not<br>a complete yum installation. On the off-chance that it is, you could try:<br>
<br>ls -l `rpm -ql yum-arch-2.2.2-2.el5.kb` | less<br><br>to see what files it contains, and whether all of them are actually still<br>on your disk, or not.<br><br>And as others have suggested, you may want/need to download the appropriate<br>
yum rpm file from a Centos mirror and install it with rpm before you can<br>actually use yum.<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>---- Fred Smith -- <a href="mailto:fredex@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us">fredex@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us</a> -----------------------------<br>
