Hello!
I found that the "Add/remove packages" always displayed "Unlocatable package" but the name is like "libselinux,1" and problem still happened even I rebuild the rpm db or install the rpm --justdb. But the package "libselinux" is actually installed .So What can I do if this incident happened again and what would it caused to happened ?
Although the problem happened and I can perform install by yum.

Add/Remove packages (system-config-packages) gets confused once you've updated packages to errata versions (e.g. by doing "yum update"). You're better off just sticking with yum.

Hello!
That means yum and system-config-packages have a compatible problem ? What should I do if I want to install packages ? User Yum or system-config-packages ?

I would just use yum if I was you.

That would the thing to do but at the moment there is a problem with system-config-packages, which is why I suggest sticking to yum for the time being.
In FC4 there may well be a yum-based tool that completely replaces system-config-packages anyway.

Thats a good idea but how to install the package from CD ?

There are a variety of ways of doing this. The simplest is simply to mount the CD and manually use "rpm" to install the desired package. You may have to install dependency packages first though, as rpm does not install dependencies for you.
If you've got lots of disk space, the easiest thing to do is to create your own yum repository and edit your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo, commenting out the line:
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core- $releasever
and adding a line:
baseurl=file:///home/my-yum-repo/fedora-core-$releasever
You can create this repo by doing the following:
# mkdir -p /home/my-yum-repo/fedora-core-3 (insert 1st FC3 CD) # mount /media/cdrom # cp /media/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/*.rpm /home/my-yum-repo/fedora-core-3 # umount /media/cdrom (repeat previous 3 steps for each of the remaining FC3 CDs) # cd /home/my-yum-repo/fedora-core-3 # rpm -Uvh createrepo* # createrepo .
You'll need at least 2GB free space in /home to do this.
You'll then be able to use yum to install packages from your local repo without ever needing to mount your CDs.
Paul.
