Problems with YUM

[mattjones]

Hello, I'm trying to install an Apache server and an SSH client using YUM and I'm running into problems.

When trying to install Apache (yum install httpd), I get lots of missing dependency errors, eg:

Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package ame

Here's my repo list:

repo id              repo name                                 status
development          Fedora - Development                      enabled
development-debuginf Fedora - Development - Debug              enabled
development-source   Fedora - Development - Source             enabled
fedora               Fedora 8 - i386                           enabled
fedora-debuginfo     Fedora 8 - i386 - Debug                   enabled
fedora-source        Fedora 8 - Source                         enabled

updates-debuginfo    Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates - Debug         enabled
updates-source       Fedora 8 - Updates Source                 enabled
updates-testing      Fedora 8 - i386 - Test Updates            enabled
updates-testing-debu Fedora 8 - i386 - Test Updates Debug      enabled
updates-testing-sour Fedora 8 - Test Updates Source            enabled

Installing the Open-SSH client appears to go smoothly. However, when running it I get:

bash: ssh: command not found

There's nothing in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Just a few ssh key files in /etc/ssh

Any help would be appreciated.

Well I ended up trying to use the Package Manager to install gnutls-2.4 and that completely hosed X-Windows :/

So, am now installing Ubuntu instead.

So remember don't start messing around with the Linpus software using yum, unless you really know what you're doing
