You are trying to install packages built for Fedora 27 on a CentOS 6
system. This is not possible.<br>
You can<br>
- either use the [old] nut packages from the <a
href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL">Fedora EPEL 6</a>
repository. Using EPEL is very simple nowadays, all you need to do
is to run the following command:<br>
yum install epel-release --enablerepo=extras<br>
( by default you might not even need the "--enablerepo=extras" part,
the repository comes already enabled)<br>
After that you just run yum install nut ( or
nut-client or whatever you need )<br>
- or you can trust me ( I am a packager for Fedora since 2007 and
also what they call a "sponsor" which basically means, among others,
that I could also teach people how to package for Fedora and EPEL -
but for the last 2-3 years I focused strictly on creating packages
that can be used on CentOS systems ) and use the packages I made
available via <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut/">https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut/</a> . If you want to
use my packages, you will need to download and install them
manually, using ( after downloading the needed packages ) a command
similar to:<br>
yum install ./nut*rpm<br>
If you encounter any issues with my packages ( NOT with nut itself
but when installing or dl-ing the packages ! ) feel free to contact
me directy either by mail or via IRC ( I am " wolfy " on
#centos-social/Freenode ) and I will be glad to assist you.<br>

No, you cannot do that. Fedora and CentOS are similar but the binary
packages built for one of them cannot be used on the other one. If
you want to use the official packages from the EPEL 6 repository,
start with the first link I have provided.<br>
