51 | <para>The recommended solution to this problem is to install the failing | ||

54 | install rpm</command>, then download the package to the target, and | ||
55 | finally on the target use <command>rpm -i | ||
56 | <packagename>.rpm</command>. If not installed, several dependencies | ||
57 | can be reported as "Failed dependencies" with lines "x is needed by y". In | ||
58 | that case, install the required packages "x" found by dependencies by | ||
59 | using the smart package manager. Add a channel to an accessible directory | ||
60 | containing all missing rpm packages. Add packages detected to be missing, | ||

329 | are no longer updated. What probably happens here is that the | ||

332 | some policy to stay within legal frequency limits and rejects the | ||
