Topic: Yum Update - Openssl dependency error

[nicolatiana]

Sme 8/32; launching yum update I get a dependency error on openssl.
List of yum transaction:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

It seems affecting only a system where additional openssl/perl packages are installed (coming from Centos updates repository).

It seems affecting only a system where additional openssl/perl packages are installed (coming from Centos updates repository).

What happens if you first remote those openssl-perl rpms?

[nicolatiana]

I'll try it; first I must check "who" (a contrib, i suppose) have installed them.

Nicola

[nicolatiana]

I'm able to find dependencies:

[root@fudge ~]# rpm -qa openssl*
openssl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
openssl-perl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1

[root@fudge ~]# rpm -qR openssl-perl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
/usr/bin/perl
openssl = 0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
perl
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
[root@fudge ~]#

but I'm not able to do the reverse (which rpm needs openssl-perl). 

I'll continue googling . . ..

[StephenHodgman]

If it is any consolation, I am experiencing the same issue.

 rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n"  | grep 'openssl'
shows
openssl-0.9.8e-27.el5_10.1.i686
openssl-perl-0.9.8e-27.el5_10.1.i386

Is it getting confused about architectures?

but I'm not able to do the reverse (which rpm needs openssl-perl). 

Here's two ways to do that:

rpm --whatrequires openssl-perl
rpm -e --test

[nicolatiana]

Here it is the result:

[root@fudge ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires openssl-perl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
nessun pacchetto necessita di openssl-perl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1

It seems no package requires openssl-perl; but in the past I installed OpenUpload and scaveaging yum.log I found a sequence:

Apr 26 07:29:17 Installed: openssl-perl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1.i386

Furthermore It seems that yum remove (as stated by contrib page to remove it) does not remove openssl-perl:

So I can remove both contrib and dependencies and try again to yum-ming update.
I'll try this evening; eventually it is something to be marked to the OpenUpload contrib developer (FWS).

[CharlieBrady]

Here it is the result:It seems no package requires openssl-perl;

"rpm -e --test" sometimes reveals dependencies which aren't seen via "rpm --whatrequires ...".

I don't trust "yum remove ..."; it sometimes removes lots of things I don't want it to.

It looks to me that you could avoid the issue you are seeing by excluding the base and updates repositories.

[stephdl]

i have the same problem.

Code: [Select]

[root@sme8iii ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires openssl-perl
smeserver-webapps-common-0.2.10-1.el5.fws
i have not smeserver-openupload installed only tt-rss and smeserver-backuppc but like you can see the openssl-perl which need the openssl dependency is installed from smeserver-webapps

you can resolve your dependency problem by installing openssl-perl from smedev

 openssl-perl                             i386                     0.9.8e-27.1.el5.sme                      smedev                     37 k

Code: [Select]

yum update --enablerepo=smedev
Not sure it is a good idea to install it now, we need maybe the feedback of daniel

[stephdl]

i have asked to daniel and the package openssl-perl is pending the migration from smedev to smeos.

either you wait or you can do

Code: [Select]

yum update openssl --enablerepo=smedev
yum update
probably you should wait.

[nicolatiana]

We'll wait ! 

Nicola

[StephenHodgman]

Here's two ways to do that:

rpm --whatrequires openssl-perl
rpm -e --test

I tried to see what needs openssl-perl:

[root@arthur ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires openssl-perl
smeserver-webapps-common-0.2.10-1.el5.fws
[root@arthur ~]# rpm -e openssl-perl
error: Failed dependencies:
        openssl-perl is needed by (installed) smeserver-webapps-common-0.2.10-1.el5.fws.noarch

Does anyone have any idea why that would not be getting found?

[wellsi]

i have asked to daniel and the package openssl-perl is pending the migration from smedev to smeos.

either you wait or you can do

Code: [Select]

yum update openssl --enablerepo=smedev
yum update
probably you should wait.

Why would we move openssl-perl or openssl-dev to smeos? They are not needed by the core distribution.
If a contrib hosted in smecontribs needs one or both then they could be moved to smecontribs, but please identify the need.

For now they stay in smedev

[stephdl]

i probably misunderstood what daniel explained, indeed probably the right repository  is smecontribs.
