I now have yum working (Installed version 2.0.8.) BUT..... Unfortunately the command suggested in the post below does not work (even with the typo corrected). I suspect the reason is that there is no rpm for xephyr (only deb) except for the one I created with alien. (Another reason could be that list of repositories in the yum.conf is out of date)
Did you do a "# yum update" or "$ sudo yum update" before the yum install command? If that doesn't help, then you're missing whichever repository contains xephyr. It's extremely rare to find something in DEB but not RPM. The reverse is much more common. It is, apparently, in the FC6 repositories, at least[1]. Here's a link to that RPM[2]. From what I can tell, it's not in any of the RHEL repositories. At least you may be able to resolve the dependencies using "yum install library-name" use "yum search query" to see if package query exists in your repository set.

machine where I have placed a (dummy) header.info file. yum finds the header.info file, but of course complains about its format. So I now have to know the format to put in the header.info file. (I just want to write code!) I'm searching the Internet and have learned that later versions of yum no longer use the header.info file. They now use xml. Of course, I would still have to know the format of the xml if there is no public repository for xephyr that is compatible with yum (meaning an rpm repository I assume).
