rpm in yum repository will not install.

Posted on

RHEL 8.6 (Ootpa) is the server version I need the rpm on.
My repository is hosted on RHEL 6.10 (yes we are migrating)

I am not sure what is happening in my yum repository. I am trying to install the xorg-x11 packages. My .repo file shows this as my repository:
[rhel-$releasever-for-$basearch-appstream-rpms]
name=rhel-$releasever-for-$basearch-appstream-rpms
baseurl=http:///provisioning/patchset/redhat/8/x86_64/latest/rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
This is good from what I can tell.
If I go to the server that hosts the repository and I go do the path shown above I see that the xorg-x11 rpm's are there that I want to install, for example xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.11-15.el8.x86_64.rpm is one I need and the path to this is:
/provisioning/patchset/redhat/8/x86_64/latest/rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms/Packages/x

When i do a yum install xorg-x11-server-Xorg or any variation or any other rpm then I get a message there is no package with that name. I'm fairly new to repository management so what could be the problem? The other repositories and packages seem to be working. Please advise or if more information is needed I can provide to better help solve this.
