    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:

    Code:
    Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package ame
    Here's my repo list:

    Code:
    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
    livna                Livna for Fedora Core 8 - i386 - Base     enabled
    updates              Fedora 8 - i386 - Updates                 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:
    Code:
    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 :)
