Error Installing RPM

Post by jeremynuss »

I am attempting to install Office for the first time on my Fedora system and am getting errors when installing either through the repo or directly with a downloaded rpm file. Screenshot is attached.

Repo error: Failed to read package header, cannot open file "/var/cache/libdnf5/softmaker-b551e085eb3f83c3/packages/softmaker-freeoffice-2024-1228.x86_64.rpm": No such file or directory

Thank you for posting the error. Please try the following workaround:

When you have the RPM package, perform the installation through the command line with additional parameters like this:

Code: Select all

sudo rpm -ivh --nodigest ./[package name].rpm
