I'm trying to install ccrypt on centOS, but I'm getting the following error:



yum install ccrypt
No package ccrypt available.


I tried to download the rpm and install it manually but it will require to install dependencies one by one (not very efficient).



I also tried installing the latest EPEL as mentioned here still same error



What shall I do?



I'm new to yum and CentOS, coming from Debian based flavors.
