Nice article!

But actually something fails for me.

"

Hi, thanks for the solution. I got rid of the issue following the solution in this. However, I am unable to install any new packages using yum. I get below message, any idea ?
[manmp@localhost ~] sudo yum install apt-get [sudo] password for manmp: Failed to set locale, defaulting to C Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register. No package apt-get available. Error: Nothing to do [manmp@localhost ~]

I believe yum is now trying to look for packages within local repo. How do i make yum to look for packages to install in local repo from Internet?

Hi Manjunath_M_P,

Welcome to our forums.

The error message you posted simply mean there isn’t an apt-get package available in the configured repository. On RHEL yum will always note that you are not registered - as long as you got the subscription-manager yum plugin installed.

Please explain the following:

Your system seems to look into the local repository already, which does not contain the package you asked for.
