Yum Install Problem

Post by saikat » 2017/01/18 06:37:29

Hello,
I am using Centos 6.8 and I am trying to install a package called xmlto. I am unable to download the packages even after cleaning up the yum cache and issuing yum clean all. Below is the snapshot of the command and the error.

[root@localhost etc]# yum install -y xmlto
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

Below is the repository file used under /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# cat rhel-source.repo
[rhelrepos]
name=rhel-repository
enabled=1
baseurl=file:///mnt/hgfs/Offer/CentOS-6.8-i386-bin-DVD1/Packages
#baseurl=file:///mnt
gpgcheck=0
#http_caching=packages
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]#

I am not sure about the issue here. It would be great if you could help on this

Regards,
Saikat

That looks like a wrong path - you should point one directory up from that.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
