Hello, all -
First off, let me appologize for asking what might be such a dumb question.
I've become accustomed to using 'yum grouplist' in FC2 and FC2 to view
and otherwise maintain available groups of packages installed on my
system. However, when trying to do the same in FC1 with yum v2.0.5, it
comes back with an error similar to the following:
Getting groups from servers
No groups provided or accessible on any server.
Exiting.
Is this because the group index really does not exist, or is it just
something that is so out of date because FL has had other things going
on, or am I using the wrong version of yum, or something - I'm not sure.
yum.conf matches what it should be for Fedora Legacy support, so I
don't think my problem is there.
From what I understand, anything in yum that has to do with the group
arguments grabs a list, presumably in XML format, that links packages
with their corresponding groups. Further, I understand that if this
list is not found, not compiled, missing, or otherwise inaccessable, yum
will drop dead with this error.
Is this something that should work, but is not for me, for some reason?
Aside from doing QA, I would like to contribute to the Fedora Legacy
project - so figuring out things like this might be where I can find my
place.
Any feedback would, of course, be very much appreciated.
Thanks
