When using the priorities plugin for yum, I get shown the number of packages which have been excluded. Is there a way of displaying the names of those packages?
You could always run yum like this:
yum -d 9 install foo
and part of the logging output is excluded packages.
EDIT
Here's the command I use to see only the excluded packages:
yum -d 9 install foo | grep excluded
Just in case you were wondering.
From the docs available via Fedora's site, as well as the CentOS docs that sort of functionality is not supported.

I am trying to install graphviz on my RHEL VM. when I run
$sudo yum install graphviz
I get this:
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
No package graphviz available.
Error: Nothing to do
I later found out that I get this same problem with all packages.
I have tried several solutions I have found online such as:
saving the .repo file found here (this link will download the file)
then running
#from dir containing graphviz-rhel.repo
$sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo graphviz-rhel.repo
the output was
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
adding repo from: graphviz-rhel.repo
grabbing file graphviz-rhel.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/graphviz-rhel.repo
repo saved to /etc/yum.repos.d/graphviz-rhel.repo
Then I ran
$sudo yum-config-manager --enable graphviz-rhel
This gives no output and $yum-config-manager list all does not list anything related to graphviz as a repo (enabled or disabled)
I tried the solution here: failed to install 'graphviz*' packages with yum command on my RHEL server
except I found the rpm file here
When I ran the rpm command I got an error because I was missing a couple dozen dependencies so I dont think following this solution for all of them is a reasonable solution.
If someone can either inform me why one of these didn't work or let me know how to accomplish my goal of getting yum install <package> to work I would greatly appreciate it.
As posted in the comments, in order to utilize yum on a RHEL system you need an active subscription
I just installed Windows Subsystem for Linux for the first time and downloaded the Debian distribution from the Windows Store.
The first thing I tried to do was use the "mv" command. The second thing was to run "man mv" because I don't remember how to use it. But I received the error:
-bash: man: command not found
It looks like the package I want is called manpages. But I can't install that:
sudo apt-get install manpages
[sudo] password for pi:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package manpages is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'manpages' has no installation candidate
How do I get the man command up and running?
apt update to update the local package lists followed by apt install man-db to install the actual package.
I want to add to elken's answer that apparently, the 'man-db' packages doesn't cover all the manpages. For example, I needed documentation for the C stdio library (fopen, fgets, ...), and for that I had to install 'manpages-dev':
sudo apt install manpages-dev
Apparently there are also some other manpage collections (/different names for them on certain unix distros), see https://superuser.com/questions/40609/how-to-install-man-pages-for-c-standard-library-functions-in-ubuntu
Couldn't find an answer anywhere so I will try here.
Is there a way to tell yum, while running yum update, to update a specific package as the last one?
I am not talking about requires / dependencies, It just needs to be updated after all other packages on the system.
In a nutshell, I manage local repositories in my environment and this particular rpm holds the version for each repository, so by updating it as last I can label the client with that particular version.
You can run two yum commands. First one excluding the .rpm that you don't want to be updated and second, running your usual update.
$ yum --exclude="foo*.rpm" update
If foo*.rpm comes from a particular repository, then during the update, you can disable it using its name. Name of a repository can be found by looking into /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file or using the command
$ yum repolist
Then disable the repo and update. Note, this will disable update of all packages coming from this repo.
$ yum --disablerepo="nameOfRepo" update
Finally, run your usual update
$ yum update
I am trying to install Mysqlnd using ssh and the yum command but I keep getting the error that no such package exists. Can someone help me out? I have also tried yum search php-mysqlnd and there is no such package on the system.
Sounds like you'll have to pull it from another repo, I suggest Atomic's repo.
They have a simple one liner auto installer, give it a shot.
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh
Then of course yum update and then fire off yum install php-mysqlnd
Edit: Sounds like you've got some yum excludes active.
vi /etc/yum.conf and you'll likely see something to the effect of exclude=mysql* php*. You can comment out this line or just remove them altogether.
Another options is to use the command line option...
yum --disableexcludes=all which will kill all excludes currently active.
yum --disableexcludes=main which will kill all excludes in your main yum.conf.
I have created a yum repository on a machine I have. I have thrown certain RPM's into it and created the repo. On my second machine I am able to view these repos and the files in them by doing a yum list. The second part of this is I have done a spec file that creates an rpm that depends on all of the RPM's in this specific repo but when I do a yum install createdrpm it determines the correct dependencies, but does not install them from my own repo.
I have tried searching over the web for this, but no luck unfortunately. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
In the rpm spec file, the Requires section should list the package names that are shown in the yum repo, not the rpm filenames.
For example:
yum list | grep something
something.noarch v1.0
The rpm spec file should have:
Require: something >= 1.0
