But why? I've checked the repository database and XML files created by
createrepo on the server and they both list the package:

software suite from NoMachine which implements very efficient
compression of the X11 protocol. This increases performance when
using X applications over a network, especially a slow one.

(The output looks messy, but the package is clearly recorded.)

That's for the sqlite DB downloaded from
http://packages.x2go.org/epel/6/main/x86_64/repodata/3e2ca432eee448392bed25e4ace4fc5cc5bd7c9c03ba52235a6350e3c0fe6d3d-primary.sqlite.bz2
- then bunzip2'd and with sqlite(3) let loose on it.

The corresponding XML file,
http://packages.x2go.org/epel/6/main/x86_64/repodata/2f68f7e2c19ed35ddbf5fba0615c01241c7629779f8330b657ccf399c90fa221-primary.xml.gz
also lists it.


> Interestingly, "yum install ./*.rpm" has no problem!  So it appears to me that yum, when given all the rpms directly to satisfy all dependencies, has no problem, but when it is required to go to the repo, it fails.  To confirm that, I asked yum to install libXcompshad3 and all it dependencies, but this time go to the repo for all packages:

How about adding -v --rpmverbosity=debug --nogpgcheck to the yum invocation to
get more extensive messages? There's also a -d <number> flag for even more
messages, but let's hope we won't need this...
