reinstalling repos

xlordjaguar · #1 13th October 2011, 08:30 PM

Hi,

I recently installed Fedora and configured a few RPMFUSION repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/.

When I checked for updates, I am guessing it looked in the RPMFUSION repos too and the update size was over 500 MB.

So, I decided to delete the rpmfusion repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and ran the "yum clean all" command and then ran "yum repolist all" command. I thought I had completely deleted the repos.

Later, I wanted to install VLC player and realised that it required RPMFUSION repos. So, I downloaded http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm and tried to install. But when i try to install, it says, "No need to install, the package is already installed"

There is no RPMFUSION repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and when I try "yum search vlc", I dont get any results.

Can anyone please help me to install RPMFUSION repos again ?

P.S.: I tried "yum clean all", "yum repolist" and even tried system restart. Nothing worked.

Thanks !

You deleted the repos files but the rpmfusion packages still are installed. I would try removing those packages and then re-install them like you did when you first installed them. You can list them this way...

Code:

rpm -qa | grep rpmfusion
rpmfusion-free-release-15-1.noarch
rpmfusion-nonfree-release-15-1.noarch

The copy and paste their names into the yum remove command.

Code:

su
yum remove rpmfusion-free-release-15-1.noarch rpmfusion-nonfree-release-15-1.noarch

Then navigate back to RPM Fusion and install the repos again. No promises, but it works in my head.
