I am bit confuse that after vagrant-vbguest plugin install kernel-devel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 on my centos guest machine
Why I am not able to search for the same package using
yum search kernel-devel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64
But when I do yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 I got package is already installed
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
yum search searches for the specified string in a package's name, summary, description and url fields.
Your full RPM package name doesn't appear in any of those fields.
If you wanted to check for a package by name specifically like that then, depending on where you wanted to search, you would either want yum info, yum list, repoquery or rpm -q.
yum info, yum list query the configured (and enabled) repositories as well as the installed packages
repoquery queries the configured (and enabled) repositories only
rpm -q queries the installed packages only
You do not need the complete kernel version when searching for a package (yum search kernel-devel).
If you need more information attributes including the package version you can:
run yum info kernel-devel
run yum list kernel-devel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64
note: if you still want to get all versions available in the repos you can run yum list --showduplicates kernel-devel

I want to install some basic packages on a proprietary Linux distro based on RHEL (I think).
I tried going the usual dnf install foo way, but quickly found out there are no repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/.
Since it is based on RHEL, I tried adding some RHEL repos, but still cannot install anything from them. I also tried downloading a package and install it from a local repo as explained here. But no packages are detected in the repo. My guess is that the proprietary distro is (too?) different from RHEL so those repos are not recognized.
So my question is: How do I install packages on a proprietary Linux distro? Is it only possible to install from repos that are meant precisely for the distro I am using? Or could it be that repos for another distro might work? The only other way I can think of is to try to find all the Git repos of all the packages I want to install to install them from source.
There are few possible ways:
activate your RHEL machine.. This include create account in RH. And
its free for small number of machines. More info here.
Download the package and do a local install:
dnf localinstall package.rpm
You should download and install all dependent packages also.
To update you can use nondocumented option:
dnf localupdate package.rpm

Hi!
I deleted by mistake, the command apt and apt-get...
My OS: Ubuntu 16.04 TLS
Error:
-bash: /usr/bin/apt: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/bin/apt-get: No such file or directory
How can I reinstall APT command?
check out the packages.ubuntu.com page and look for the apt package, there you can download the binary .deb file depending on your processor architecture...
But consider that, the deb files have some dependencies... you have to install them too, for listing the package dependencies, use the dpkg, eg:
dpkg -I apt-armhf-blahblah.deb
if you deleted the apt package by itself, take a look at its log file in /var/log/apt/history.log, you can discover the name of packages that you removed.
HINT 1: since the DPKG can't automatically install the dependencies, you have to install them one by one!
HINT 2: that's recommended to remove your current OS and install the latest version because this version will not receive any maintenance update anymore.

When doing
apt-get install <service-name>
or
yum install <service-name>
services are automatically installed. How to find exact path where any service is installed and their configuration files??
There are quite a few ways to find this but I usually prefer following
whereis <service-name>
e.g whereis java
and to find from which path program is using, I use
which <service-name>
e.g which java
If you're using apt-get, install apt-file program and you can list the contents of the package:
sudo apt-file update
apt-file list package_name
This will show all the files that will be installed by a package, binaries, configuration files, systemd startup files, etc.
If you use yum, install yum-utils and use repoquery:
repoquery -l package_name
Suppose service name is nginx then you can find it in /etc/nginx/ on ubuntu.

During updating fedora, due to error: multilib protected version found, i tried to remove and install libacl package, but when i remove libacl package using rpm --erase --nodeps libacl, yum commands stops working and i am unable to install libacl again , running yum gives this error:-
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
libacl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.5 (default, Nov 12 2013, 16:18:42)
[GCC 4.8.2 20131017 (Red Hat 4.8.2-1)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
Not only yum but when i fire any command in the terminal it gives this error:-
error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Due to this I am not able to install any package manually using rpm command, Someone please give me some ideas?
Manually download libacl RPM and do rpm2cpio packagefile.rpm | cpio -div and then manually copy libacl.so.1 to where it should be. Then install the RPM properly. After that, don't use --nodeps again, unless you're sure you know what you're doing! ;)

I am trying to install subversion on RedHat linux. But there is a bit problem with broken yum package manager. I have configured some own repositories from CentOS, but unfortunately there is still one broken dependency:
libneon.so.27
I have tried to download it on my own, but its dependencies are quite complex, it will cost me a lot of time to downlaod them all. Do you have any hints?
(Links to some repos with that libneon (rpmforge i have tried with no success))
You can download rpm forge repository from the links 32 bit or 64 bit depending upon your machine configuration. rpm forge package has most of the useful packages and dependencies. After that try the following command:
yum install mod_dav_svn subversion
or just try
yum install subversion
In addition to subversion You can also use GIT which is similar to svn but has its own additional benefits.
If you like you can install git using the command:-
yum install git
