Dear saquib_javed,
Salam,

Try following command as root.

# yum clean all
# yum install kdebase


If you still having issues then use following command.

# yum install kdebase localinstall=/media/dvd/

Best Regads.

Dear Saquib,

Here is kedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo after editing,

Code: Select all

[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl= /home/RMPS
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

before editing it was like this,

Code: Select all

[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
Please note that I followed the steps as mentioned in the link in my previous post. I have read from that link that altough #baseurl= /home/RMPS is commented, but since enabled=0, it will force yum to look into baseurl that in my case is /home/RPMS. Also not that each .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ has enabled=0
Linux is also user friendly

dude it also didnt worked

i tried to create a repo for the xmms rpm on my local partition but still it gave error like

Code: Select all

media://1161131669.029329%232/Fedora/RPMS/kdebase-3.5.4-12.fc6.i386.rpm
now thats very suspicious to me that i have disabled every repo except the my local xmms repo

:!: dude that means something is still referring to the media://1161131669.029329%232

now where the heck if came from and which configuration file is referring to it

Dear saquib_javed,
Salam,

Move all your repos files from /etc/yum.repos.d to /root/repos and make sure you have mount your DVD at mount point /mnt/dvd and try again.
