Thanks Marcelo. That certainly helped.

Although, now I keep seeing this message:

In the yum configuration file, there are may mirrors listed in a few files: What should the priorities be? (I wnt to make sure no packages are excluded. 336 is a very large number)

Second: I was able to install python-paramiko. It seems to work with Python2.3 (Python2.3 comes as default with CentOS). I have installed Python 2.4.6 and need the same to work with that. Any tips? -- Raghu Narasimhan

Hi folks,

I have some doubts with regards a Python module called paramiko (used to automate ssh related stuff)

1. Does Paramiko 1.7.2 and 1.6.4 work with CentOS 4

2. If yes, what is the exact 'yum' command to install paramiko on CentOS

4?

...

I have tried all possible ones without success.

    yum install paramiko
    yum install python-paramiko(with and without version numbers)
    python-paramiko.noarch

Installing it without yum throws dependency problems which are never ending : starting with python-crypto and python(abi) - which I am unable to find; which will no doubt lead to other dependencies.

Is there any change that has to be made to the yum repository to point it to look in a different place?

3. Alternatively, I also have apt-get on the CentOS box - can you tell

me some repos that I can add for apt-get as well?

Hi

Maybe you need to add the "rpmforge" repository. https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using

Thanks for your response.

I did install paramiko only after installing python2.4, so I am not sure why it installed itself into the site-packages folder in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d * As you can see there are no exlcude parameters, so any idea where that 336 number is coming from? -- Raghu Narasimhan

Hi

To be honest, I had never seen this messages before. I'm not familiar with CentOS 4, but seems that something is wrong.

About the python version. I would say that depends on how did you installed it. If you installed python from sources, then I think you have to build paramiko also. But I'm not sure.

Regards

M.

This has nothing to do with mirrors. You definitely *want* priorities to keep your core CentOS files intact and not overwritten by rpmforge. Make sure that none of your repos has a lower priority number than centos-base and updates.

Hi,

You clearly did not understand what the priorities plug-in is and what it is used for. By excluding a repository, 0 packages are excluded by the priorities plug-in, but at the same time all the others that were available in that repository will no longer be available anymore, so in fact you have *less* packages than you did before.

Please read here: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

And here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

If you're installing Python 2.4 on CentOS 4, it means you still did not grasp the concepts of an Enterprise Linux distribution.

Please see: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17299&forum=3... http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-472ce8446ebcfc82ca1800f775ba0e629ac8... http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html

You will probably not get any support from this list for your Python 2.4 install on CentOS 4, since that is clearly not part of CentOS itself.

Luckily for you, if you really need Python 2.4, you can move to CentOS 5, it will be present there.

If you want to stick to the bleeding edge, you'd better look into distros such as Fedora and Ubuntu.

HTH, Filipe

Did you read my reply? You *want* to have this enabled! It's fine that so many packages get excluded. Read what I wrote about priorities. There's also good tutorials on wiki.centos.org about this. So, no excuse to not know about it.

You seem to be super-new to CentOS. Read some basic documentation before you hose it! Start with the wiki.
