Odd epel problem

I'm trying to install something lightweight on a 6.4 system. (And there
are real limits to what I can update - this is an SGI UV 2000, with their
customizations). When I go to EPEL, I see stress, and lshw, and yet when I
do a yum install with epel enabled, it comes back with no package
[lshw|stress} available.

Anyone got a clue?

Hi Mark,

The two things that immediately come to mind are incorrect architecture and/or a bad yum cache.

Can you post the output of yum?

Cheers,
Harry

One other thing to check is the stanza for epel under /etc/yum.repos.d/  and see if it's including only certain packages.

Cheers,
Harry
