Repolist 0 : but package epel-release-5-4.noarch is already installed

Question

I have ran the following commadns to install the epel-release:

# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

To verify this I ran

yum repolist

that results the output:

repolist 0

it should be show some repo here, what I am trying to install is "pip" command on RedHat, first enable EPEL repository, and then run:

sudo yum install python-pip

Refer me the solution to install pip or to resolve the problem that described above.

Answer 1

I had to had the epel in a CentOS architecture (more precisely in a XenServer) and I used different flags from you.

Try this (I changed your flags to "-Uvh"):

rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
