In trying to install Synce I have come across many dependencies that Yum cannot resolve, yet rpm.pbone.net reports as being available in Extras: [root@localhost Desktop]# yum search synce-serial Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "skip-broken" plugin Loading "fedorakmod" plugin Setting up repositories http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> Trying other mirror. livna 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 109 kB 00:02 livna : ################################################## 463/463 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 539 kB 00:03 updates : ################################################## 1324/1324 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 824 kB 00:31 core : ################################################## 2242/2242 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.8 MB 00:12 extras : ################################################## 5840/5840 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished No Matches found [root@localhost Desktop]# However, according to rpm.pbone.net: Fedora Other download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/x86_64/synce-serial-0.9.1-2.fc7.x86_64.rpm Fedora Other download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/synce-serial-0.9.1-2.fc7.i386.rpm Fedora Other download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/x86_64/synce-serial-0.9.1-2.fc7.i386.rpm So why can't yum find them? Extras is clearing enabled, as we can see that it's downloading the info from there. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/ http://what-is-what.com
