I want to upgrade my current running applications to latest version. But due to some package issue i am unable to install them.
So I'm trying to install the epel repository and then also install the ius repository.
I'm managing this server with chef, and my run list goes
...
"recipe[yum::yum]",
"recipe[yum::epel]",
"recipe[yum::ius]",
...
And it installs the epel repository correctly, contents of epel.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d
# Generated by Chef for chef-test.midwestern.de
# Local modifications will be overwritten.

I am trying to get the debug version of httpd so I can use it in conjunction with gdb. I am having a hard time getting them, and they don't seem to be in the standard epel-debuginfo repository.
I'm trying to install couchdb, but failed installing from source.
I see in the wiki, it says if I "enable the EPEL repository", that I can just use yum install couchdb to install.
But I'm new to linux, what does "Enable the EPEL repository" mean? My linux is Fedora 16 Centos 6.2.
Let's say Ubuntu's repositories features a package.
I install that package using apt-get.
I then add an additional source (with add-apt-repository) that lists either a newer or older version of the package.
Will apt-get always upgrade to the latest version, regardless of which source offers the latest version?
I use Ubuntu 12.04 and say I have installed package x from the repository (with all its dependencies) at version 1.7
But I need some functionality that is only available in version 1.8, so I download the source tar and compile it:
./configure
make
make install
Does this overwrite the existing 1.7 binaries?
I need to install a GEOS version >= 3.2.2, and doing so is beyond my current aptitude (pun intended).
The current Debian squeeze version is 3.2.0, which will not work for my purposes (using the rgeos package in R).
I've tried the following:
Installing the 3.3.3 package from the Debian wheezy repository via dpkg -i
Installing several 3.2.2 packages from the Ubuntu repository.
All fail because
I have 12.4, and I have a package that is a Recursive Package Manager (rpm). I need to install it. There is also a Fedora version of the package, but its the same thing. When extracting the package, I have no idea where it goes. I have also tyred the "Alien" program in the terminal, but it didn't really seem to work, unless the program extracts it into an unknown location.
Suppose I have an installer program or source tarball for some program I want to install. (There is no Debian package available.) First I want to create a .deb package out of it, in order to be able to cleanly remove the installed program in the future (see Uninstalling application built from source, If I build a package from source how can I uninstall or remove completely?).
