Oracle Linux 5
* Obtain public-yum-el5.repo file:
su - cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
* Find Oracle Linux release number.
– The following output means it’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (el) release 5 update 5
– and we need to enable el5_u5_base in public-yum-el5.repo file
cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
* Edit public-yum-el5.repo to enable appropriate repository
[el5_u5_base] name=Enterprise Linux $releasever U5 - $basearch - base baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/EnterpriseLinux/EL5/5/base/$basearch/ gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-el5 gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
* Use yum
yum list yum install
Issues
Repository el5_xx_base is listed more than once in the configuration
* Error message:
yum list Loaded plugins: security Repository el5_ga_base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository el5_u1_base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository el5_u2_base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository el5_u3_base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository el5_u4_base is listed more than once in the configuration Repository el5_addons is listed more than once in the configuration
* Cause: multiple .repo files are present in /etc/yum.repos.d directory
* Fix: move all .repo files other than public-yum-el5.repo to a backup directory, for example:
mkdir bak move ULN* bak
