No repositories available while using yum repolist

Below is the task in Level 2
The Nautilus production support team and security team had a meeting last month in which they decided to use local yum repositories for maintaing packages needed for their servers. For now they have decided to configure a local yum repo on Nautilus Backup Server. This is one of the pending items from last month, so please configure a local yum repository on Nautilus Backup Server as per details given below.

a. We have some packages already present at location /packages/downloaded_rpms/ on Nautilus Backup Server.

b. Create a yum repo named local_yum and make sure to set Repository ID to local_yum. Configure it to use package’s location /packages/downloaded_rpms/.

c. Install package vim-enhanced from this newly created repo

my questions:

  1. yum repolist

Warning: failed loading ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/local_yum.repo’, skipping.
Warning: failed loading ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/yum_local.repo’, skipping.
No repositories available

  1. yum install vim-enhanced* -y
    Warning: failed loading ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/local_yum.repo’, skipping.
    Warning: failed loading ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/yum_local.repo’, skipping.
    Error:
    Problem: conflicting requests
  • nothing provides libgpm.so.2()(64bit) needed by vim-enhanced-2:8.0.1763-19.el8.4.x86_64
  • nothing provides vim-common = 2:8.0.1763-19.el8.4 needed by vim-enhanced-2:8.0.1763-19.el8.4.x86_64
    (try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

I am getting these errors while I try to list all the repos and installing the package vim-enhanced
Can anyone help me on this

Please use code blocks as I have below to paste code and terminal output.
Note that the repo name changes each time you attempt the task. In my case it was localyum

  1. Create repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/localyum.repo

    [localyum]
name=localyum
baseurl=file:///packages/downloaded_rpms/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
protect=1

  2. Test it

    [root@stbkp01 ~]# yum repolist
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

repo id                                               repo name
localyum                                              localyum

  3. Install package

    yum install -y vim-enhanced

Thank you Alistair for the quick response. I will use code blocks when I share my code in the forum.

If you read our guidelines, it includes links to how to format things in here (discourse) and on slack.

Cheers.
