Обсуждение: Installing PostgreSQL Yum Repository
I am trying to follow the instructions on http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ for installing the PostgreSQLYum Repository (on RHEL 5). So I downloaded pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm into a directory from http://yum.postgresql.org/9.1/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm. Then I tried to install it with: rpm -i http://yum.postgresql.org/9.1/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm Instead of an installation, I got: error: skipping http://yum.postgresql.org/9.1/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm - transfer failed - Unknownor unexpected error I was surprised that the instructions told me to download a file and then issue a command that doesn't reference the downloadedfile. So, as an experiment, I also executed: sudo rpm -i pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm That produced this error message: warning: pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 442df0f8 But it did, apparently, install the package, since rpm -qi pgdg-redhat shows it installed. So, is it correct to instructusers to download the .rpm file and then issue a command that references the remote source URL of that file?

But anyway: yum install pgdg-redhat-9.1-4.noarch.rpm with the local file, or the URL; yum doesn't care. -- Craig Ringer

That is my mistake. I changed the filenames a few months before, but it seems I forgot to update website: http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php This is now up2date.
