Topic: Missing Dependency

[cactus02]

I got this error message when applied the last updates :

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(IO::Compress::Bzip2) >= 2.015 is needed by package perl-Archive-Tar

Is there something I should do ?
Or wait for the next update.

Thank you !

[Stefano]

did you install any contrib?

[cactus02]

Yes !
- Web Statistics
- Disk Archives
- Hardware Configuration
- Accès à distance de l'utilisateur (User Access to FTP ?)

And the bad guy is ?

Thank You

Try:

Code: [Select]

rpm -q --whatrequires perl(IO::Compress::Bzip2)

[cactus02]

I am using Putty to access my server.
Typing what you told me I am getting this error message :

- bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

If i don't type « (IO::Compress::Bzip2) », I get a long list  of file referring to Perl (I guest) !
Would it be useful to see the list ?

Is there something missing in the command ?

Thank You !

Oops, I forgot the quotes, please try:

Code: [Select]

rpm -q --whatrequires 'perl(IO::Compress::Bzip2)'

The response at your command :

no package requires perl(IO::Compress::Bzip2)

Helping ?

Then the dependency is in one of the packages you are trying to install (or one of it's dependencies, in this case perl-Archive-Tar). The package should be in the dag repository which you might already have installed. If not first follow the instructions in the wiki to do install the dag repository.

Then rerun your installation with this added to your command:

Code: [Select]

--enablerepo=dag

[cactus02]

I did the installation of the Dag repository as explained in http:/wiki.contribs.org/Dag.
Everthing seems to work fine.

Now, I don't understand what you want me to do :

Then « rerun your installation with this added to your command : --enablerepo=dag »

How do I « rerun my installation » ?

I tried to update and I still got an error :

Thank you for your help and patience !

are you on SME 7.4 or SME 8?

[cactus02]

SME Server 7.5beta1

Is V8 available ?

[Stefano]

no, SME8 is in beta, and your 7.5 too..

can I ask you why are you using 7.5 beta?

as long as you are using a beta version, you should report your issue in bugzilla, thank you

[cactus02]

I feel stupid to answer... « I don't know » 
I applied the updates when they were available.
I did take notice of the addition of the word « beta » and ask myself why... How and when did I make the switch.
It's the first problem I get with an update. Was I lucky ?
Should I stop updating until the next stable version is available ?

Thank you !

I will report my problem in the bug tracker space !

I think you have repositories enabled by default which you should not have. Check your activated repositories:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/audittools/repositories
Only the following should be enabled by default:
base: enabled
smeaddons: enabled
smeextras: enabled
smeos: enabled
smeupdates: enabled
updates: enabled

To restore the default follow the instructions here: http://wiki.contribs.org/Adding_Software#Restoring_Default_Yum_Repositories
