Can't install package from file, Last metadata expiration check, Error: Unable to find a match, Centos 8

Question

tell me please what I am doing wrong. I can't install package from file.

Earlier, I tried to install by pointing to the address, but

dnf install https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/buster/pool/stable/amd64/containerd.io_1.4.4-1_amd64.deb
Last metadata expiration check: 0:24:44 ago on Tue 23 Mar 2021 09:06:41 PM UTC.

Could not open: /var/cache/dnf/commandline-a76fe31ae310b0c7/packages/containerd.io_1.4.4-1_amd64.deb

I have downloaded file and try dnf and yum to install

sudo dnf install /tmp/containerd.io_1.4.4-1_amd64.deb

I tried

yum clean all

I have added docker repo

I worked on CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

Answer 1

You need to install epel release before installing screen.

dnf install epel-release
dnf install screen

Answer 2

So not sure if you managed to fix this, but what you are trying to do here is install .deb on CentOS.

What you probably want to do instead is look at CentOS-specific documentation for docker, they should give you the links needed for the .rpm package (the package format normally used by CentOS and other EL distros)

Answer 3

For me it's works, try this step-by-step:

sudo dnf update
sudo yum update
sudo dnf clean all
sudo yum clean all

and after this try to install package
