I'm trying to install epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm in Ubuntu 14.04 (on VirtualBox).

This step is required to make a software installation.

I tried the command: 

sudo rpm -Uvh http :// download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

But the host download.fedora.redhat.com is unknown (at the moment).

This url seems to work: https :// dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

I execute the command: 

sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

But this is the error:

warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9Y0b8t: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, ID key 217521f6: NOKEY error: Failed dependencies: redhat-release >= 5 is needed by epel-release-5-4.noarch

I tried to find some suggestions but no one solved my problem.

Any idea will be appreciated.

Thanks.

  • using rpms on ubuntu is non standard. You mention virtualbox. Are you installing in a guest in virtualbox? Exactly what operating system does the host that you are trying to rpm install epel to have?? – Vorsprung Jan 14 '16 at 09:29
  • I found a way to install my software to Ubuntu without pass on RPM libraries. I didn.'t know that Linux is different on DEB and RPM, i was wrong because i thought that it was always a Unix system! – Ale C Jan 14 '16 at 10:20
