I have got epel repo and installed it. It shows "package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed" when I want to ensure that it has been installed.



[root@static ~]# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed


But I cannot install some packages that are placed in this repository like unrar rar aria2c



[root@static ~]# yum install rar unrar
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: ftp.antilo.de
* epel: mirror.wiuwiu.de
* extras: mirror.ratiokontakt.de
* updates: mirror.ratiokontakt.de
No package rar available.
No package unrar available.
Error: Nothing to do


What should I do?
It is centos6.9

          The packages you are looking for aren’t available in EPEL (check the list of packages starting with ‘a’, ‘r’ and ‘u’). unrar’s license is inappropriate for EPEL, as is RAR’s; aria2 is fine but isn’t part of EPEL 6.

          • So how could I install them. All docs say install from rpmforge-release and rpmforge has been replaced by epel.

          • I don’t know where you’d get them for CentOS, apart from building from source.
