Please show exact command and resulting output for both operations. Without seeing exactly what you are doing, it is hard to help you.

That is the expected output. You are confused about the difference between a package filename and a package name. Sometimes you have to use a package name and sometimes you have to use a package filename.

For example:
Code:
$ rpm -q bash-3.2-32.el5.rpm
package bash-3.2-32.el5.rpm is not installed
$ rpm -q bash
bash-3.2-32.el5

Before you go the long way around the block, here, check to see if the package is in the yum repo. Trust me, it saves time. Smilie

OK, I just did a quick check, and on my Fedora system (which is just an cutting-edge RedHat system), the package (fuse) is already installed.

And NTP is in the yum repo.
Code:
yum install ntp

Maybe you have an uncompleted install?
