Everytime I try to install whois with:



yum install whois -y


I get an error that says:



No package whois available.
Error: Nothing to do


Looks to me that repositories are messed up. Can I get some detailed help?

    In Cent OS & you have to go an extra mile in case you are getting the error: No package jwhois available



    Type the following command:



    yum whatprovides *bin/whois*



    The response will be:
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror



    Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
    Bla bla bla



    Then type



    yum install whois



    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror



    Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile



    Bla bla bla



    Press yes at any Y/n area.



    That's it, whois installed.
