Topic: Software Installer Won't Update 7.2. Gives Perl Dependency Errors

[wifinetguy]

I'm currently running 7.2. Under my Software Install panel, it shows numerous updates available. When I run the update, nothing updates because it is reporting Perl dependency errors. I tried it with 'yum update' and got same errors. Here is the output from the 'yum update':

I've also tried 'yum clean all' and then 'yum update' but get the same results. I'm lost on what to do next. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Same problem here with 2 SME 7.2 Server in two different networks. Yum updates are failing because of deps.

Please be patient, mirrors are sync'in

According to the above link, looks like this has been resolved. And it looks like it is, in fact, resolved. I ran the Software Update again this morning and it completed successfully. Thanks for the help.

Sorry for posting the original post in this thread. I really didn't even think of posting it as a "bug".
