Problem with updating packages

[anupamt]

Hi All,

When I try to update packages on my RHEL5 box (sudo yum update) I get the following error msg:

Error: Missing Dependency: yum-metadata-parser >= 1.1.0 is needed by package yum
Error: Missing Dependency: yum = 3.0.1-5.el5 is needed by package yum-updatesd
Error: Missing Dependency: python-iniparse is needed by package yum
Error: yum conflicts with yum-rhn-plugin < 0.5.2-1.el5

Running 'sudo yum update yum-metadata-parser' returns
Could not find update match for yum-metadata-parser
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

I download yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.src.rpm from Index of /download/yum-metadata-parser and I get "Public key for yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.src.rpm is not installed" error msg when I try to run "sudo yum localinstall yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.src.rpm"

Any ideas? How I can fix these errors.

Thx,

Hi and Welcome !

Post the output of this

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.src.rpm

Its a source rpm. Download rpm that doesn't have .src. extension.

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

adobe-linux-i386.repo rhel-debuginfo.repo yumbase.repo

One more question. How do I install tarballs using yum. Is it possible?
