Topic: error when running sa-update

[brianr]

No problem.

Just uploaded slightly better one which only emails you when it does a rule update.

I am hoping that while we are "up to date" with the SA version we can get rule updates quite often to keep up with the spam.

I'll grab it as soon as the site updates.

I agree with you, it's all we can do and it is necessary in light of the tonnage of SPAM.

In SME 7.x, no perl-Archive rpms appear to be installed by default. However perl-Archive-Tar is available:

Thanks Darrell, that is one of the items I had to install to fix this issue.

And if you missed my other post, your DAR restore totally and completely recovered a failed system for me late last night. I replied in your DAR post.

regards,

I've got 3 x 7.1 systems, 2 updated from 7.0 and one brand new 7.1, all of which do not get the sa-update problem.  I presume that means that yum silently installed the extra libs?

The brand new one has not had a yum update AFAICT.

Sorry, scratch that out - all were 7.0, updated to 7.1 by yum..

(even more) Confused...

[brianr]

ok, built a new sme7.1 system today, and as expected from above, running /usr/bin/sa-update -D

Gives the error relating to the missing perl lib.

Installing the folowing, then allows sa-update to run.

perl-Compress-Zlib
perl-IO-Zlib
perl-Archive-Tar.noarch 0:1.26-1.2.el4.rf

Have opened a bug for this:

And my server software GUI had two perl rpms to download and install this morning. I don't know if they are related to your filing of the bug, but they may be.

See, I wasn't crazy.
