HOWTO

Yum

Exclude packages

In /etc/yum.conf:

exclude=package1 package2

Show installed packages

yum list installed

Show installed packages from epel

yum list installed | grep @epel

Show active repositories

yum repolist

or

yum repolist enabled

Disable repository

yum-config-manager --disable reponame


FAQ

Yum keeps trying Importing GPG key 0x51312F3F

yum clean all
yum makecache


Exclamationmarks?

Repository has expired metadata, try

yum clean expire-cache

What provides a certain file

yum whatprovides

 

Which package does a file belong to?

rpm -qf /bin/bash

 

Which packages depend on a package

rpm -q --whatrequires libX11

what files depend on package??

repoquery --requires --resolve <package>

Show dependencies for a package

yum deplist <packagename>

Installed package x.y.z (from anaconda) not available

Package not found on mirror

Check updates

yum check-update -q

Check security updates

HAHA GOTCHA! no security metadata on CentOS! There is for EPEL though. see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10021 On CentOS 6 first install

yum install yum-plugin-security
yum list-security -q --errorlevel=0

Which repository is a package from?

repoquery <packagename>

or perhaps better

yum info packagename

Clear cache

yum clean all

or

yum clean all --enablerepo='*'

 

List files from package

rpm -ql packagename
dnf repoquery -l somepackage

Updateinfo file is not valid XML

remove yum-cron

Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

Happens when you install something using rpm, what usually works is:

yum history sync

 

Not using downloaded remi/repomd.xml because it is older than what we have

Try

yum clean all
