Topic: DAG repositories to instal otrs

[alex_rhys-hurn]

Hey folks,

I am trying to get the dag repositories to work so that I can try a deploymet of otrs the trouble ticket system.

When I try to install items I constantly get a checksum error. I have tried to verify my dag repository info, and all seems well.

Can anyone help?

Outpout of my error below:

I have figured out that this is because the primary.xml.gz is not downloading fully.

This is a real pain!

The yum program only tries once to get the file then gives up. Even if I download the file directly to my windows PC the download breaks, but if I use my download manager or wget then it will resume the file until it is completed.

I should point out that ALL other downloads work fine.

Does anybody know where I can put the primary.xml.gz file that I have manually downloaded?

On my system it's in /var/cache/yum/dag (for the dag repository)

Thanks for the tip on where to put the file.

I eventually went to the dag website and found another mirror. I used calgary university site. worked fine but sloooooow.

Thanks any way.
