You'd think that, however there seems to be a growing (or at least
their users are complaining more vocally on irc) number of VPS
providers using a very stripped down version of centos. They ship it
without yum, which would imply that folks are not able to get basic
security updates via the normal route (if at all).
While I could possibly see excluding the kernel and maybe a few other
packages since it runs a custom built openvz kernel, the entire
removal of yum is extreme, and seems very careless of these VPS
providers.
Not only they cannot do updates. They cannot install additional packages.
If the idea of having a VPS is that it is like having a Dedicated Server,
the people buying those brain dead VPS are getting a very crippled system.

Sounds like you need to talk to the support staff where you bought the
VPServer - after all, they're the ones responsible for creating your
problem.
Alternatively, you could try 'rpm --upgrade
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1.noarch.rpm"
- add dependencies ad nauseam.
Hosts normally advertise a VPS as being almost like a Dedicated
Server. Lots of resources and lots of options. In this case,
without being able to use yum, it starts as a Security problem,
because he cannot update the packages that are
installed. His second problem is that he cannot install new software
with yum, which eliminates a lot of options. Unlike Shared Hosting,
which is Managed, someone with a VPS must Manage their VPS, as if it
was a Dedicated Server, or, pay someone to do that. But, how
would they manage it, without yum? It's much more difficult, without
yum. IMHO, he should look for a VPS with another provider, that allows
him to use yum, etc.
Well .. the problem is that yum breaks their VPS
Those VPS providers should have provided another way to get updates and
install packages.
If you install yum with the normal defaults it will allow you to install
packages that will break your VPS.
You should ONLY do what the VPS providers says to do and you should ONLY
contact them for support. To do anything else will break your system

FTP? Rpm? Ftp up a suitable yum rpm and install it.
(Maybe it's really part of an active attempt to keep people from
installing software, but on a virtual private server that'd be amazingly
stupid; so I'm guessing, from a great distance and very little
information, that it's something simpler like just not having installed
yum.)
Almost certainly.
Depends on the VPS software as to whether yum is included in the base
packages for each VPS or if you have to add it on as part of a
"developer" set or such like.
VPS's are often used in an Enterprise setting to ease system
administration and as such, these are often pared down feature-wise.
Makes sense in some software-manufacturer's points of view to keep the
base product lite and add on what you need. Others install the full shebang.
If the provider is not fully savvy about the product they are pushing,
then they could easily miss things like this.

Hello,
If I am correct, when I make a yum update/install package, the
packages which need to be installed are first copy in
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/16/[dir]/packages (where dir is a directory
depending on the package)
If I make a yumdownloader the packages are stored in a directory that
I can define.
Now, I would like to copy these packages (on another machine) at there
location (ie. /var/cache/yum/x86_64/16/[dir]/packages) before
installation.
How can I do this?
Thank.

why would you do this?
copy them all to the same dir and
type "yum update /dir/with/packages/*.rpm"
