    Yum/RPM Problem!

    Ok, so i installed something using "yum localinstall" I actually didn't want to. No biggy, just uninstall it right? Well, I tried the yum remove pkg and it just sat there
    forever without completing. I could not ctrl-c or ctrl-d out of it.....so I killed the process. After that, everytime I tried rpm it would hang. So I restarted the box.
    rpm ok now, so I tried to yum localinstall on the correct package I want.
    It's telling me:

    There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
    The program yum-complete-transaction is found in the yum-utils package.

    How do I use the yum-complete-transaction?

    Thanks,

    Ray

    Ok had to install yum-util in order to do the yum-complete-transaction.
    All seem well for now with that issue. Now for the next issue.

    I need to install tk8.3 so i downloaded the rpm and tried this:

    [root@sguil01.root vbarry]# yum localinstall tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64.rpm --installroot=/home/sguil/NTtcl8.3/
    Loaded plugins: security
    Setting up Local Package Process
    Examining tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64.rpm: tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64
    Marking tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64.rpm to be installed
    http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/yum/RHEL/%2...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
    Trying other mirror.
    Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: live. Please verify its path and try again


    Why is this trying to go to a repo when I am doing a local install?

    Thanks,

    Ray

    Is tk package not available in repo?

    Use rpm command for installing single rpm

    What is the rpm equivalent to "yum localinstall tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64.rpm --installroot=/home/sguil/NTtcl8.3/" ?

    Thanks

    probably something like
    Code:
    rpm -Uvh --nodeps --prefix=/home/sguil/NTtcl8.3/  tk-8.3.5-96.0.1.x86_64.rpm

    I still don't know why you aren't using tk available in repo

    lookup how to extract rpm manually, then you can put it where you want
