NAME
       yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified

SYNOPSIS
       yum [options] [command] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION
       yum  is  an  interactive,  rpm  based, package manager. It can automatically perform system updates,
       including dependency analysis and obsolete processing based on "repository" metadata.  It  can  also
       perform  installation  of new packages, removal of old packages and perform queries on the installed
       and/or available packages among many other commands/services (see below). yum is  similar  to  other
       high level package managers like apt-get and smart.

       While  there are some graphical interfaces directly to the yum code, more recent graphical interface
       development is happening with PackageKit and the gnome-packagekit application.

       command is one of:
        * install package1 [package2] [...]
        * update [package1] [package2] [...]
        * update-to [package1] [package2] [...]
        * check-update
        * upgrade [package1] [package2] [...]
        * upgrade-to [package1] [package2] [...]
        * distribution-synchronization [package1] [package2] [...]
        * remove | erase package1 [package2] [...]
        * list [...]
        * info [...]
        * provides | whatprovides feature1 [feature2] [...]
        * clean [ packages | metadata | expire-cache | rpmdb | plugins | all ]
        * makecache
        * groups [...]
        * search string1 [string2] [...]
        * shell [filename]
        * resolvedep dep1 [dep2] [...]
           (maintained for legacy reasons only - use repoquery or yum provides)
        * localinstall rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...]
           (maintained for legacy reasons only - use install)
        * localupdate rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...]
           (maintained for legacy reasons only - use update)
        * reinstall package1 [package2] [...]
        * downgrade package1 [package2] [...]
        * deplist package1 [package2] [...]
        * repolist [all|enabled|disabled]
        * repoinfo [all|enabled|disabled]
        * version [ all | installed | available | group-* | nogroups* | grouplist | groupinfo ]
             *      history       [info|list|packages-list|packages-info|summary|addon-info|redo|undo|roll‐
       back|new|sync|stats]
        * load-transaction [txfile]
        * check
        * help [command]

       Unless the --help or -h option is given, one of the above commands must be present.

       Repository configuration is honored in all operations.

       install
              Is  used  to install the latest version of a package or group of packages while ensuring that
              all dependencies are satisfied.  (See Specifying package names for more  information)  If  no
              package  matches  the  given  package  name(s),  they  are assumed to be a shell glob and any
              matches are then installed. If the name starts with @^ then it is treated as  an  environment
              group  (group  install  @^foo),  an  @  character  and  it's  treated as a group (plain group
              install). If the name starts with a - character, then a search is done within the transaction
              and  any matches are removed. If the name is a file, then install works like localinstall. If
              the name doesn't match a package,  then  package  "provides"  are  searched  (e.g.  "_sqlite‐
              cache.so()(64bit)")  as  are  filelists  (Eg.  "/usr/bin/yum"). Also note that for filelists,
              wildcards will match multiple packages.

              Because install does a lot of work to make it as easy as possible to use, there  are  also  a
              few  specific install commands "install-n", "install-na" and "install-nevra". These only work
              on package names, and do not process wildcards etc.

       update If run without any packages, update will update every currently installed package.  If one or
              more  packages  or  package  globs  are  specified, Yum will only update the listed packages.
              While updating packages, yum will ensure that all dependencies are satisfied. (See Specifying
              package  names  for  more  information)  If the packages or globs specified match to packages
              which are not currently installed then update will  not  install  them.  update  operates  on
              groups, files, provides and filelists just like the "install" command.

              If  the  main obsoletes configure option is true (default) or the --obsoletes flag is present
              yum will include package obsoletes in its calculations - this makes it better for distro-ver‐
              sion changes, for example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9.

              Note  that  "update" works on installed packages first, and only if there are no matches does
              it look for available packages. The  difference  is  most  noticeable  when  you  do  "update
              foo-1-2"  which  will  act  exactly  as "update foo" if foo-1-2 is installed. You can use the
              "update-to" if you'd prefer that nothing happen in the above case.

       update-to
              This command works like "update" but always specifies the version of the package we  want  to
              update to.

       check-update
              Implemented so you could know if your machine had any updates that needed to be applied with‐
              out running it interactively. Returns exit value of 100 if there are packages  available  for
              an  update. Also returns a list of the packages to be updated in list format. Returns 0 if no
              packages are available for update. Returns 1 if an error occurred.  Running in  verbose  mode
              also shows obsoletes.

       upgrade
              Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag set. See update for more details.

       upgrade-to
              This  command works like "upgrade" but always specifies the version of the package we want to
              update to.

       distribution-synchronization or distro-sync
              Synchronizes the installed package set with the latest packages available, this  is  done  by
              either  obsoleting, upgrading or downgrading as appropriate. This will "normally" do the same
              thing as the upgrade command however if you have the package FOO installed at version 4,  and
              the latest available is only version 3, then this command will downgrade FOO to version 3.

              If you give the optional argument "full", then the command will also reinstall packages where
              the install checksum and the available checksum do not match. And remove old packages (can be
              used  to  sync. rpmdb versions). The optional argument "different" can be used to specify the
              default operation.

              This command does not perform operations on groups, local packages or negative selections.

       remove or erase
              Are used to remove the specified packages from the system as well as  removing  any  packages
              which  depend  on  the  package being removed. remove operates on groups, files, provides and
              filelists just like the "install" command.(See Specifying package names for more information)

              Note that "yum" is included in the protected_packages  configuration,  by  default.   So  you
              can't accidentally remove yum itself.

              Because remove does a lot of work to make it as easy as possible to use, there are also a few
              specific remove commands "remove-n", "remove-na" and "remove-nevra". These only work on pack‐
              age names, and do not process wildcards etc.

       list   Is  used  to  list  various  information  about available packages; more complete details are
              available in the List Options section below.

       provides or whatprovides
              Is used to find out which package provides some feature or file. Just use a specific name  or
              a  file-glob-syntax  wildcards  to list the packages available or installed that provide that
              feature or file.

       search This is used to find packages when you know something about the package but  aren't  sure  of
              it's name. By default search will try searching just package names and summaries, but if that
              "fails" it will then try descriptions and url.

              Yum search orders the results so that those packages matching more terms will appear first.

              You can force searching everything by specifying "all" as the first argument.

       info   Is used to list a description and summary information about  available  packages;  takes  the
              same arguments as in the List Options section below.

       clean  Is  used  to  clean  up various things which accumulate in the yum cache directory over time.
              More complete details can be found in the Clean Options section below.

       makecache
              Is used to download and make usable all the metadata for the currently enabled yum repos.

       groups A command, new in 3.4.2, that collects all the subcommands that act on groups together.

              "group install" is used to install all of the individual packages in a group, of  the  speci‐
              fied types (this works as if you'd taken each of those package names and put them on the com‐
              mand line for a "yum install" command).
               The group_package_types configuration option specifies which types will be installed.

              "group update" is just an alias for groupinstall, which will do the right thing because  "yum
              install X" and "yum update X" do the same thing, when X is already installed.

              "group  list"  is  used to list the available groups from all yum repos. Groups are marked as
              "installed" if all mandatory packages are installed, or if a group doesn't have any mandatory
              packages  then  it is installed if any of the optional or default package are installed (when
              not in group_command=objects mode).  You can pass optional arguments to the list/summary com‐
              mands: installed, available, environment, language, packages, hidden and ids (or any of those
              prefixed by "no" to turn them off again).  If you pass the -v option, to enable verbose mode,
              then  the  groupids  are  displayed  by  default (but "yum group list ids" is often easier to
              read).

              "group remove" is used to remove all of the packages in a group, unlike  "groupinstall"  this
              will remove everything regardless of group_package_types. It is worth pointing out that pack‐
              ages can be in more than one group, so "group install X Y" followed by "group remove Y"  does
              not do give you the same result as "group install X".

              The  groupremove_leaf_only configuration changes the behaviour of this command to only remove
              packages which aren't required by something else.

              "group info" is used to give the description and package list of  a  group  (and  which  type
              those  packages  are  marked as). Note that you can use the yum-filter-data and yum-list-data
              plugins to get/use the data the other way around (i.e. what groups own packages  need  updat‐
              ing).  If  you pass the -v option, to enable verbose mode, then the package names are matched
              against installed/available packages similar to the list command.

              "group summary" is used to give a quick summary of how many groups are installed  and  avail‐
              able.

              "group  mark" and "group unmark" are used when groups are configured in group_command=objects
              mode. These commands then allow you to alter yum's idea of which groups  are  installed,  and
              the packages that belong to them.

              "group mark install" mark the group as installed. When installed "yum upgrade" and "yum group
              upgrade" will installing new packages for the group.

              "group mark remove" the opposite of mark install.

              "group mark packages" takes a group  id  (which  must  be  installed)  and  marks  any  given
              installed  packages  (which aren't members of a group) as members of the group. Note that the
              data from the repositories does not need to specify the packages as a member of the group.

              "group mark packages-force" works like mark packages, but doesn't care if  the  packages  are
              already members of another group.

              "group mark convert" converts the automatic data you get without using groups as objects into
              groups as objects data. This makes it much easier to convert to  groups  as  objects  without
              having to reinstall.

              "group unmark packages" remove a package as a member from any groups.

       shell  Is  used  to enter the 'yum shell', when a filename is specified the contents of that file is
              executed in yum shell mode. See yum-shell(8) for more info

       resolvedep
              Is used to list packages providing the specified dependencies, at most one package is  listed
              per dependency. This command is maintained for legacy reasons only, use repoquery instead.

       localinstall
              Is  used  to  install  a set of local rpm files. If required the enabled repositories will be
              used to resolve dependencies. Note that the install command will do a local install, if given
              a filename. This command is maintained for legacy reasons only.

       localupdate
              Is  used  to update the system by specifying local rpm files. Only the specified rpm files of
              which an older version is already installed will be installed, the remaining specified  pack‐
              ages will be ignored.  If required the enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependen‐
              cies. Note that the update command will do a local update, if given a filename. This  command
              is maintained for legacy reasons only.

       reinstall
              Will  reinstall  the  identically versioned package as is currently installed.  This does not
              work for "installonly" packages, like Kernels. reinstall operates on groups, files,  provides
              and filelists just like the "install" command.

       downgrade
              Will try and downgrade a package from the version currently installed to the previously high‐
              est version (or the specified version).  The depsolver will not necessarily work, but if  you
              specify  all  the  packages  it should work (thus, all the simple cases will work). Also this
              does not work for "installonly" packages, like Kernels. downgrade operates on groups,  files,
              provides, filelists and rpm files just like the "install" command.

       deplist
              Produces  a  list  of  all  dependencies and what packages provide those dependencies for the
              given packages. As of 3.2.30 it now just shows  the  latest  version  of  each  package  that
              matches  (this  can  be  changed  by  using  --showduplicates)  and  it only shows the newest
              providers (which can be changed by using --verbose).

       repolist
              Produces a list of configured repositories. The default is to list all enabled  repositories.
              If  you  pass  -v,  for  verbose  mode,  more information is listed. If the first argument is
              'enabled', 'disabled' or 'all' then the command will list those types of repos.

              You can pass repo id or name arguments, or wildcards which to match against  both  of  those.
              However  if the id or name matches exactly then the repo will be listed even if you are list‐
              ing enabled repos. and it is disabled.

              In non-verbose mode the first column will start with a '*' if the repo. has metalink data and
              the  latest metadata is not local. For non-verbose mode the last column will also display the
              number of packages in the repo. and (if there are any user specified excludes) the number  of
              packages excluded.

              One  last  special  feature of repolist, is that if you are in non-verbose mode then yum will
              ignore any repo errors and output the information it can get (Eg.  "yum  clean  all;  yum  -C
              repolist" will output something, although the package counts/etc. will be zeroed out).

       repoinfo

              This ocmmand works exactly like repolist -v.

       version
              Produces  a  "version" of the rpmdb, and of the enabled repositories if "all" is given as the
              first argument. You can also specify version groups in the version-groups configuration file.
              If  you  pass  -v, for verbose mode, more information is listed. The version is calculated by
              taking an SHA1 hash of the packages (in sorted order),  and  the  checksum_type/checksum_data
              entries  from  the  yumdb. Note that this rpmdb version is now also used significantly within
              yum (esp. in yum history).

              The version command will now show "groups" of packages as a separate version,  and  so  takes
              sub-commands:

              "version grouplist" - List the defined version groups.

              "version groupinfo" - Get the complete list of packages within one or more version groups.

              "version  installed"  -  This is the default, only show the version information for installed
              packages.

              "version available" - Only show the version information for available packages.

              "version all" - Show the version information for installed and available packages.

              "version nogroups | nogroups-*" - Just show the main version information.

              "version group-*" - Just show the grouped version information, if more  arguments  are  given
              then only show the data for those groups.


       history
              The  history command allows the user to view what has happened in past transactions (assuming
              the history_record config. option is  set).  You  can  use  info/list/packages-list/packages-
              info/summary  to view what happened, undo/redo/rollback to act on that information and new to
              start a new history file.

              The info/list/summary commands take either a transaction id or a package (with wildcards,  as
              in  Specifying  package names), all three can also be passed no arguments. list can be passed
              the keyword "all" to list all the transactions.

              The packages-list/packages-info commands takes a package  (with wildcards, as  in  Specifying
              package names). And show data from the point of view of that package.

              The  undo/redo/rollback  commands take either a single transaction id or the keyword last and
              an offset from the last transaction (Eg. if you've done 250 transactions,  "last"  refers  to
              transaction  250,  and  "last-4"  refers to transaction 246).  The redo command can also take
              some optional arguments before you specify the transaction. "force-reinstall" tells it  rein‐
              stall  any  packages  that were installed in that transaction (via. install, upgrade or down‐
              grade).  "force-remove" tells it to forcibly remove any packages that were updated  or  down‐
              graded.

              The  undo/redo  commands  act on the specified transaction, undo'ing or repeating the work of
              that transaction. While the rollback command will undo all transactions up to  the  point  of
              the  specified transaction. For example, if you have 3 transactions, where package A; B and C
              where installed respectively.  Then "undo 1" will try to remove package A, "redo 1" will  try
              to  install  package  A  (if  it is not still installed), and "rollback 1" will try to remove
              packages B and C. Note that after a "rollback 1" you will have a fourth transaction, although
              the ending rpmdb version (see: yum version) should be the same in transactions 1 and 4.

              The  addon-info command takes a transaction ID, and the packages-list command takes a package
              (with wildcards).

              The stats command shows some statistics about the current history DB.

              The sync commands allows you to change the rpmdb/yumdb data stored for  any  installed  pack‐
              ages, to whatever is in the current rpmdb/yumdb (this is mostly useful when this data was not
              stored when the package went into the history DB).

              In "history list" you can change the behaviour of  the  2nd  column  via.  the  configuration
              option history_list_view.

              In  "history  list"  output the Altered column also gives some extra information if there was
              something not good with the transaction (this is also shown at the end of the package  column
              in the packages-list command).

              > - The rpmdb was changed, outside yum, after the transaction.
              < - The rpmdb was changed, outside yum, before the transaction.
              * - The transaction aborted before completion.
              # - The transaction completed, but with a non-zero status.
              E - The transaction completed fine, but had warning/error output during the transaction.
              P - The transaction completed fine, but problems already existed in the rpmdb.
              s  - The transaction completed fine, but --skip-broken was enabled and had to skip some pack‐
              ages.



       load-transaction
              This command will re-load a saved yum transaction file, this allows you to run a  transaction
              on  one  machine and then use it on another.  The two common ways to get a saved yum transac‐
              tion file are from "yum -q history addon-info last saved_tx" or via. the automatic  saves  in
              $TMPDIR/yum_save_tx.* when a transaction is solved but not run.


       check  Checks  the  local  rpmdb and produces information on any problems it finds. You can pass the
              check command the arguments "dependencies" or "duplicates", to limit  the  checking  that  is
              performed (the default is "all" which does both).

              The  info command can also take ranges of transaction ids, of the form start..end, which will
              then display a merged history as if all the transactions in the range had happened at once.
              Eg. "history info 1..4" will merge the first four transactions and display them as  a  single
              transaction.

       help   Produces help, either for all commands or if given a command name then the help for that par‐
              ticular command.

GENERAL OPTIONS
       Most command line options can be set using the configuration file as well and the descriptions indi‐
       cate the necessary configuration option to set.

       -h, --help
              Help; display a help message and then quit.

       -y, --assumeyes
              Assume yes; assume that the answer to any question which would be asked is yes.
              Configuration Option: assumeyes

       --assumeno
              Assume  no;  assume  that  the answer to any question which would be asked is no. This option
              overrides assumeyes, but is still subject to alwaysprompt.
              Configuration Option: assumeno

       -c, --config=[config file]
              Specifies the config file location - can take HTTP and FTP URLs and local file paths.

       -q, --quiet
              Run without output.  Note that you likely also want to use -y.

       -v, --verbose
              Run with a lot of debugging output.

       -d, --debuglevel=[number]
              Sets the debugging level to [number] - turns up  or  down  the  amount  of  things  that  are
              printed. Practical range: 0 - 10
              Configuration Option: debuglevel

       -e, --errorlevel=[number]
              Sets  the  error level to [number] Practical range 0 - 10. 0 means print only critical errors
              about which you must be told. 1 means print all errors, even ones that are not overly  impor‐
              tant. 1+ means print more errors (if any) -e 0 is good for cron jobs.
              Configuration Option: errorlevel

       --rpmverbosity=[name]
              Sets  the debug level to [name] for rpm scriptlets. 'info' is the default, other options are:
              'critical', 'emergency', 'error', 'warn' and 'debug'.
              Configuration Option: rpmverbosity

       -R, --randomwait=[time in minutes]
              Sets the maximum amount of time yum will wait before performing a  command  -  it  randomizes
              over the time.

       -C, --cacheonly
              Tells  yum to run entirely from system cache - does not download or update any headers unless
              it has to to perform the requested action. If you're using this as a user yum  will  not  use
              the tempcache for the user but will only use the system cache in the system cachedir.

       --version
              Reports  the  yum  version  number  and  installed  package  versions  for everything in his‐
              tory_record_packages (can be added to by plugins).

       --showduplicates
              Doesn't limit packages to their latest versions in the info, list and search  commands  (will
              also affect plugins which use the doPackageLists() API).

       --installroot=root
              Specifies an alternative installroot, relative to which all packages will be installed. Think
              of this like doing "chroot <root> yum" except using --installroot allows yum to  work  before
              the  chroot is created.  Note: You may also want to use the option --releasever=/ when creat‐
              ing the installroot as otherwise the $releasever value is taken from  the  rpmdb  within  the
              installroot (and thus. will be empty, before creation).
              Configuration Option: installroot

       --enablerepo=repoidglob
              Enables specific repositories by id or glob that have been disabled in the configuration file
              using the enabled=0 option.
              Configuration Option: enabled

       --disablerepo=repoidglob
              Disables specific repositories by id or glob.
              Configuration Option: enabled

       --obsoletes
              This option only has affect for an update, it enables yum´s obsoletes processing  logic.  For
              more information see the update command above.
              Configuration Option: obsoletes

       -x, --exclude=package
              Exclude  a  specific package by name or glob from updates on all repositories.  Configuration
              Option: exclude

       --color=[always|auto|never]
              Display colorized output automatically, depending on the output terminal, always (using  ANSI
              codes) or never. Note that some commands (Eg. list and info) will do a little extra work when
              color is enabled.  Configuration Option: color

       --disableexcludes=[all|main|repoid]
              Disable the excludes defined in your config files. Takes one of three options:
              all == disable all excludes
              main == disable excludes defined in [main] in yum.conf
              repoid == disable excludes defined for that repo

       --disableplugin=plugin
              Run with one or more plugins disabled, the argument is a comma separated list of wildcards to
              match against plugin names.

       --noplugins
              Run with all plugins disabled.
              Configuration Option: plugins

       --nogpgcheck
              Run with GPG signature checking disabled.
              Configuration Option: gpgcheck

       --skip-broken
              Resolve  depsolve  problems  by removing packages that are causing problems from the transac‐
              tion.
              Configuration Option: skip_broken

       --releasever=version
              Pretend the current release version is the given string. This is very  useful  when  combined
              with  --installroot.  You can also use --releasever=/ to take the releasever information from
              outside the installroot.  Note that with the default upstream  cachedir,  of  /var/cache/yum,
              using  this option will corrupt your cache (and you can use $releasever in your cachedir con‐
              figuration to stop this).

       -t, --tolerant
              This option makes yum go slower, checking for things that shouldn't  be  possible  making  it
              more tolerant of external errors.

       --downloadonly
              Don't update, just download.

       --downloaddir=directory
              Specifies an alternate directory to store packages.

       --setopt=option=value
              Set any config option in yum config or repo files. For options in the global config just use:
              --setopt=option=value for repo options use: --setopt=repoid.option=value

LIST OPTIONS
       The following are the ways which you can invoke yum in list  mode.   Note  that  all  list  commands
       include information on the version of the package.

       OUTPUT


              The format of the output of yum list is:

              name.arch [epoch:]version-release  repo or @installed-from-repo


       yum list [all | glob_exp1] [glob_exp2] [...]
              List all available and installed packages.

       yum list available [glob_exp1] [...]
              List all packages in the yum repositories available to be installed.

       yum list updates [glob_exp1] [...]
              List all packages with updates available in the yum repositories.

       yum list installed [glob_exp1] [...]
              List  the packages specified by args.  If an argument does not match the name of an available
              package, it is assumed to be a shell-style glob and any matches are printed.

       yum list extras [glob_exp1] [...]
              List the packages installed on the system that are not available in any yum repository listed
              in the config file.

       yum list obsoletes [glob_exp1] [...]
              List  the  packages installed on the system that are obsoleted by packages in any yum reposi‐
              tory listed in the config file.

       yum list recent
              List packages recently added into the repositories. This is often not helpful, but  what  you
              may really want to use is "yum list-updateinfo new" from the security yum plugin.

SPECIFYING PACKAGE NAMES
       A  package  can be referred to for install, update, remove, list, info etc with any of the following
       as well as globs of any of the following:

              name
              name.arch
              name-ver
              name-ver-rel
              name-ver-rel.arch
              name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
              epoch:name-ver-rel.arch

              For example: yum remove kernel-2.4.1-10.i686
                   this will remove this specific kernel-ver-rel.arch.

              Or:          yum list available 'foo*'
                   will list all available packages that match 'foo*'. (The single quotes  will  keep  your
              shell from expanding the globs.)

CLEAN OPTIONS
       The following are the ways which you can invoke yum in clean mode. Note that "all files" in the com‐
       mands below means "all files in currently enabled repositories".  If you  want  to  also  clean  any
       (temporarily) disabled repositories you need to use --enablerepo='*' option.


       yum clean expire-cache
              Eliminate  the  local  data saying when the metadata and mirrorlists were downloaded for each
              repo. This means yum will revalidate the cache for each repo. next time it is  used.  However
              if the cache is still valid, nothing significant was deleted.


       yum clean packages
              Eliminate  any  cached  packages  from  the system.  Note that packages are not automatically
              deleted after they are downloaded.


       yum clean headers
              Eliminate all of the header files, which old versions of yum used for dependency resolution.


       yum clean metadata
              Eliminate all of the files which yum uses to determine the remote availability  of  packages.
              Using this option will force yum to download all the metadata the next time it is run.


       yum clean dbcache
              Eliminate  the sqlite cache used for faster access to metadata.  Using this option will force
              yum to download the sqlite metadata the next time it is run, or recreate the sqlite  metadata
              if using an older repo.


       yum clean rpmdb
              Eliminate any cached data from the local rpmdb.


       yum clean plugins
              Tell any enabled plugins to eliminate their cached data.


       yum clean all
              Does all of the above.


PLUGINS
       Yum  can  be extended through the use of plugins. A plugin is a Python ".py" file which is installed
       in one of the directories specified by the pluginpath option in yum.conf. For a plugin to work,  the
       following conditions must be met:

       1. The plugin module file must be installed in the plugin path as just described.

       2. The global plugins option in /etc/yum.conf must be set to `1'.

       3.  A  configuration  file for the plugin must exist in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/<plugin_name>.conf and
       the enabled setting in this file must set to `1'. The minimal content for such a configuration  file
       is:

              [main]
              enabled = 1

       See the yum.conf(5) man page for more information on plugin related configuration options.
