Message-ID: <faf407640509301133t72bae599v93fb711fd97f5aae@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have had spotty success in loading RPMs from say here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386
One common error is I click on one of the RPMs via FireFox and it goes
through "Preparing System Update" and ends up with "Package Not
Found". About half the time that happens and half the time it
actually installs. e.g. I was able to load SNORT without any problem.
Can someone comment on why I am seeing that specific error when I'm
downloading the RPM directly from fedora.redhat.com?
Also can you point me to how to go about trouble-shooting this kind of
thing myself? Where would I find a log of what happened during the
installation? Also where are the binary files typically installed?
usr/bin? user/sbin?
And lastly when loading an RPM - should the package become launchable
in the Gnome UI (as happens with most Windows applications)? Or is
that typically an extra step?
