(1) Many of us on 5.6 have installed to /etc/yum.repos.d an extra file for an extra, probably temporary, new repository called 'CR'. Unsure what CR means but it might be 'Continuous Revision'. (2) You write you are on 5.5 so I am unsure whether the 'CR' repo is also for you. No doubt others will enlighten us. (3) The contents of the CR repo are (the file name is your own choice):- # CentOS-CR.repo # # The continuous release ( CR ) repository contains rpms from the # next point release of CentOS, which isnt itself released as yet. # # Look at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR # for more details about how this repository works and what users # should expect to see included / excluded [cr] name=CentOS-$releasever - CR baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/cr/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 priorities=1 (4) As you will notice, in the file is a link for further information. (5) If this file is for your 5.5, then install it then do a yum update and you should see things being installed. Regards, Paul.
