Centos 6.7 Yum没事做

Question

My dedicated server is running on Centos 6.7 Yum does not seem to be working at all. Whichever package I try to install with Yum, does not work at all following No package "xyx" available and nothing to do error.

How do reset the whole yum to default.

I tried with

yum update

and

yum clean all

nothing works.

Example: when I try to install a package.

root@ns321982 [~]# sudo yum install -y tigervnc-server
Setting up Install Process
No package tigervnc-server available.
Error: Nothing to do
root@ns321982 [~]# subscription-manager list
-bash: subscription-manager: command not found
root@ns321982 [~]# yum search tigervnc-server
No Matches found

Example: When I try to update yum

root@ns321982 [~]# yum update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I basically want to install desktop environment like GNOME so that I can control dedicated hosting server remotely using GUI.

Answer 1

There are same packages with different versions on different repositories. Run yum info bind-chroot to find out which repositories provide bind-chroot package (You should do that for initscripts package.

After finding repositories that provide same packages, keep the most update/stable one and disable the other/others.

I think extras repository may cause the problem. You can disable it and retry to run yum update

Answer 2

Another case is when the package is excluded. For example my system's yum.conf file contains exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686

This means any i686 package is excluded by default! A workaround for that case is:

sudo yum install --disableexcludes=all foobar.i686.rpm yum cleanall yum update
