I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 # This repo often does not respond in a timely fashion so turned off # by default.

Is it possible that bittorrent is only available as a 386 package? $ yum list installed \*torrent\* Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, : fedorakmod, kernel-module, priorities, tsflags, versionlock Installed Packages bittorrent.noarch 4.4.0-1.el5.rf installed bittorrent-gui.noarch 4.4.0-1.el5.rf installed libtorrent.i386 0.12.0-1.el5.rf installed rtorrent.i386 0.8.0-1.el5.rf installed The above makes me think (being essentially ignorant about all this rpm stuff) that you might need to over-ride your architecture? And I got then from rpmforge, not Dag's place so I don't know if it's there or not. I'm not sure how current that dag repo is. I know that Dag has been involved in trying to get rpmforge going, some kind of involvement with other repos, etc. FWIW, I've this rpmforge setup. $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo # Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag # URL: http://rpmforge.net/ [rpmforge] name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag #baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/dag mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge #mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge enabled = 1 protect = 0 gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag gpgcheck = 1 priority=10 # includepkgs=rtorrent.i386 libtorrent.i386 libsigc++20.i386 nvidia-x11-drv Note that the "protect=0" is needed for priorities to work.> Then I run yum thus: > > # yum --enablerepo=dag whatprovides bittorent > > But yum cannot find bittorrent.I only use the rtorrent, which has the DHT feature, so I really can't offer any more than what I have above.

I was able to install bittorrent from Dag's repository using the gnome graphical package installer so the package exists. Yum finds the repository for it obtains the package database from there. So why does yum --enablerepo=dag install bittorrent report: package not found? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

It may have been a transient network issue. In any case, yum now finds bittorrent.noarch in the dag repository. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
