im very new to RH, and even more so to YUM, but i need to install it on a RHEL 7.2 server, which i have done but installing the RPM package, and updated it via the Centos2 archives. The program i am trying to install is bacula, a backup/tape program on one of our old servers, we need to upgrade to a newer version. I didnt want to deal with the deps, so i thought yum was the way to go. well, it cant find bacula, and i even downloaded the rpm from their website, and tried to get yum to install it that way "yum install bacula.rpm" and that doesnt work either, i get a: # yum install bacula-mysql-1.38.5-4.101mdk.i586.rpm Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: CentOS-2 base Getting headers from: CentOS-2 updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching bacula-mysql-1.38.5-4.101mdk.i586.rpm can anyone shed some light on this for me? im kinda lost here. ive googled and found some good centos docs, but it doesnt solve my problem, the "localinstall" switch i guess is not supported anymore according to something i read on the net, and it doesnt work either when i try it. how can i get this installed with something that will handle the deps for me? am i even asking the right question? thanks for any help you can give.

And using CentOS 2 to patch RedHat 7.2 will probably do more "nasty things". Maybe if you tried to rebuild a source rpm? Try this version of Yum; http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/7.2/legacy-utils/i386/yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.legacy.noarch.rpm And you might be able to get closer to current. Although Fedora Legacy dropped 7.2, the files seem to still be available. Will updating this box to at least 7.3 break anything? There is still legacy support for 7.3, but who knows for how long.

I haven''t a clue whether there is a bacula package in any centos repositories but very doubtful for centos-2 suggest you just build from source rpm for you setup...you can get source rpm''s from bacula project download pages.
