I'm trying to install the EPEL repo on a fully up to date CentOS 6.4. I'm using wget to download from my usual source but after I install it via `sudo rpm -ivh epel-xxxxx` it's not actually there in `/etc/yum.repos.d`.
Trying to install it again, Yum just tells me it's already installed.
I've no idea where it is installed if it is (which I don't think it is) so I'm stumped.
Any help appreciated
thats why "rpm -q --filesbypkg <packagename>" exists
Returning to this thread after a considerable break (I'm sorry, I've really been quite unwell) here is the output of 'rpm -q --filesbypkg epel-release' & the directory listing itself:
'$ rpm -q --filesbypkg epel-release epel-release /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 epel-release /etc/rpm/macros.ghc-srpm epel-release /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo epel-release /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo epel-release /usr/share/doc/epel-release-6 epel-release /usr/share/doc/epel-release-6/GPL [Sat Jan 25 20:45:24 phil@localhost:~ ] $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ [Sat Jan 25 20:45:43 phil@localhost:/etc/yum.repos.d ] $ l ./ CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge mirrors-rpmforge-testing ../ CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Vault.repo mirrors-rpmforge-extras rpmforge.repo'
It's the same deal with 'yum list epel-*' That also reckons it's installed.
I'm flummoxed as to how to proceed.
try yum reinstall
The problem with that is that it wasn't installed by yum in the first place. I used wget to grab it.
Or am I misunderstanding you...
Cheers,
Phil.
