Installing BitTorrent via YUM
Posted by Jamsi in Linux on December 27th, 2006 | 11 responses
Are you trying to install BitTorrent on Centos using YUM? By default it won’t work.
I tried a rpm -i bittorrent, but it reported that I needed 6 python dependencies.
Screw that. What to save some time? Try this!
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
Next open up this file (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources) and add this line;
yum kb-centos-extras http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/$ARCH/RPMS
Next all you have to do is update and install!
yum update
yum install bittorrent

not working…..
Giving following error
No package bittorrent available.
This is a quite old thread, but I noticed your post was recent… If you’re running a new version of CentOS, do this:
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
Change the first baseurl from
/el$releasever/extras
to
/el4/extras
Save/exit that file and do a:
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install bittorrent
Enjoy
Thanks Charlie
Thankyou so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it doesn’t work for me .. why is that ?
maybe this will help ??
[/etc/yum.repos.d]# yum install bittorrent

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
package-cleanup –dupes
rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
