I'm trying to use the "Package Management" app to install rhgb but it fails saying "Error installing packages There was an error installing packages. Exiting." with an OK button only.
My FC1 install is an upgrade from RH9 which seems to be working just fine other than this. I get the same problem regardless of the package that I try to update. Any thoughts as to a reason for this and how I might fix it. Is there an easy way to load the rhgb from the cd with easy-to-understand commands (I am slowly learning Linux but it's a tough to for this long time Windows user).
Before you try to use redhat-config-packages (System Settings > Add/Remove Applications) make sure you have the fix for a bug that looks for the wrong CD label (redhat instead of fedora).
Jeremy Katz has fixed this already in redhat-config-packages-1.2.7-1. The new package can be downloaded from
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/redhat-config-packages/
You will then need to install the new package by using
rpm -Uvh redhat-config-packages-1.2.7-1.noarch.rpm
Hope this is what you need.
