Problem with installing yumex

Post by atlas » 2019/10/02 08:53:06

When I try "dnf install yumex", it gives the following:
# dnf install yumex
Last metadata expiration check: 1:31:33 ago on Wed 02 Oct 2019 09:40:31 AM MSK.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides python-iniparse needed by yumex-3.0.15-1.el7.nux.noarch
- nothing provides pexpect needed by yumex-3.0.15-1.el7.nux.noarch

- nothing provides urlgrabber needed by yumex-3.0.15-1.el7.nux.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I tried to separately install these missing packages,
they also require packages which are not installed and so on ....

There is no nux-dextop repo for CentOS 8 (and probably won't be one at all) but you have installed the CentOS 7 one. That's not going to work and may even break things. Remove it. I don't see yumex in any other repo and since yum is gone from CentOS 8 - it's now dnf not yum - I am not sure it would be possible to provide it at all.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Shouldn't we keep compatible to RHEL 8 ?
According to Red Hat trainings - they do not expect us to use dnf at all, but the yum (which is actually the same).

Since yum is just a symlink to /usr/bin/dnf-3 I think it's safer to assume that it's better to use dnf in the first place. And since it is dnf under the hood anyway, I don't think you can expect yumex (yum extender) to be compatible with it.
