yum is not work correctly

[Tammy Liang]

Yum is not showing correct information.
I tried to install rpm packages via yum and stucked on "resolve dependence", so I stop the process. Now I tried to reinstall again, it shows the yum package is already installed with latest version, no action to be taken.
I tried to run "yum -c packages.conf remove package1" and it shows "Erase: No matches for package1 No action to take".

Thanks for any reply and help.

try to run
yum clean all

and then try again with your rpm installation.

Have you edited your /etc/yum.conf
and adapted the repo config files in /etc/yum.repo.d/
according to your environment?

For instance, if you are required to use a proxy
then you would have to add proxy* directives to those files.

Try the "yum clean all" and reinstall the package. Still shows the package is installed with latest version. No action to take.

There is only /etc/yum.conf file, no other file and directory refering yum..

I told yum to use different yum.conf instead of /etc/yum.conf from the command line.

yum -c redhat.conf package1.
