Yes, I noticed that foolishness not long after sending the email : # yum install gcc Repository base already added, not adding again Repository base already added, not adding again Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
