Out of curiosity I tried to run package-cleanup in a freshly upgraded F7 machine and noticed that there was no package-cleanup command... I then tried "yum install yum-utils" [root@odin ~]# yum install yum-utils Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Nothing to do My fedora repository is pointing to a local network mirror (I did a FC6-F7 yum upgrade from this mirror) which is based on the install DVD contents, so... I checked the rpm packages in the DVD and notice that there is no F7 yum-utils package: 4182620 76 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 72356 Jun 4 11:03 yp-tools-2.9-0.1.i386.rpm 4182621 536 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 542268 Jun 4 11:03 yum-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch.rpm 4182622 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 25285 Jun 4 11:03 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.0-2.fc7.i386.rpm 4182623 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 22527 Jun 4 11:03 yum-updatesd-3.2.0-1.fc7.noarch.rpm 4182624 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 23070 Jun 4 11:03 zd1211-firmware-1.3-4.fc7.noarch.rpm I also tried: [root@odin ~]# yum whatprovides package-cleanup Loading "installonlyn" plugin No Matches found [root@odin ~]# yum search yum-utils Loading "installonlyn" plugin No Matches found Am I overlooking something? Is "yum clean packages" equivalent? Thanks! Carlos M. Gutierrez carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, the DVD is a subset of available F7 packages. It does not include packages from the merged Extras repository. If you desire to keep a local mirror to sync your local mirror with the /fedora/releases/7Everything and /fedora/updates/7 repositories.
