Can anyone tell me why yum lacks the following ( or maybe it me): 1) Can't force a reinstall of package 2) Can't force a package to install if there are some minor dependencies
Forcing package installations is generally a bad thing to do, and should only be done if you really know what you're doing. And if you really know what you're doing, you can use rpm to achieve these.
3) Can't fetch a package
Try installing yum-utils from Extras and check out yumdownloader. Paul.
