I'm not sure what your problem is, exactly. localinstall expects the name of an RPM file.

Well if you see carefully, I ran same cmd, yum localinstall sg3_utils-1.28-3.el6.i686.rpm , from repository & otherwise.. it works only from repositories location

Sorry if it was not clear

Thanks,

It works only from the location of the RPM, or from the given path to the RPM in the yum command itself.

Install from repo, be anywhere in terminal:
Code:
# yum install PACKAGE

Install file, must be in same path:
Code:
# yum install PACKAGE.rpm

If NOT in same path:
Code:
# yum install /path/to/file.rpm

What you report, looks and acts as it should.

Hope this helps

Got you.. But I have repo created already .. do u see any error in that ?

Code:
/etc/yum.repos.d #more myrepo.repo
[local]
name=My Awesome Repo
baseurl=file:///root/rpm/Packages
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
/etc/yum.repos.d #

No.

Your repo is working.
A local repo you install from is NOT the same as installing a local (eg: downloaded) file.

See:
Code:
yum repolist

Hope this helps
sea out.
