Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would
be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell
will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency,

Have a look at yumex. I think you'll prefer the command line, though.

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI

in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the
browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think)
opens, but
