--disablerepo=jpackage is not working.

[emamm]

Hello

I thought FC6 would be like FC5 as far as yum is concerned. I was so wrong!

After adding jpackage.repo, I issued the command

yum -y update --exclude geronimo-specs --exclude geronimo-specs-compat --exclude ant* (not sure whether ant* will do anything but ...)

but there are far too many dependencies missing so I tried

yum -y update --disablerepo=jpackage --exclude geronimo-specs --exclude geronimo-specs-compat --exclude ant*

Loading "installonlyn" plugin


Error getting repository data for jpackage, repository not found


How can I get yum to work with upgrade again?

Many thanks

Ed

One thing you could do is to use gedit to change /etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage.repo (if that's what it's called) and then change 'enabled=1' to 'enabled=0'. Of course, I'd check what's actually listed in /etc/yum.repos.d to make sure I was using the right term.

You could also use yumex to pick and choose which repos you want for installs and updates.

And, finally, you can use some of the tips and tricks here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/D...CustomizingYum to help you.

You probably have jpackage-generic plus something else enabled, so wildcard it: --disablerepo=jpackage*

Shouldn't that be --exclude=packagename and not --exclude packagename
