Topic: Yum Update - Openssl dependency error

[Xavier.A]

@ALL
one of my vm (SME8 32b) is experiencing this issue !

It seems to be a problem with this Firewall-System contribs

• smeserver-webapps-common
  
• smeserver-openupload

so my solution is to remove all contribs from this packager and I think it's a good idea to not install their contribs for the moment ! 

[Daniel B.]

The problem has nothing to do with FWS contribs, please, stop spreading FUD. The problem is a dependency issue between openssl and openssl-perl (smeserver-webapps-common just requires openssl-perl, and that's why having it installed can trigger the issue. Note the difference between create and trigger)

No, i can't i'm not enough clever ! Could you just don't take every body for what you are?

What is YOUR SOLUTION ?
 

[Daniel B.]

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smedev update openssl-perl openssl

Then you'll be able to update everything else. Yes, openssl-perl should be moved to another repo, but, as you can see, it has nothing to do with our contribs, it's just a dependency issue between openssl and openssl-perl

ok
but for information could you just tell us how many rpms need "openssl-perl"?
because this command solves the problem :

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-webapps-common
and after

Code: [Select]

rpm -q --whatrequires openssl-perl
aucun paquetage ne requiert openssl-perl
Why should we install rpms from smedev repo in production server? 

you could be consistent with that you wrote in another post, please try !

Don't know, and don't care. Any number of package can depend on it.

Why should we install rpms from smedev repo in production server? 

openssl-perl has just been moved automatically to smedev because it's not used by core components, it doesn't mean it's beta stuff. I'll try to address this ASAP (move it to smeos or smecontribs)

Thanks Daniel B. !!
That sheds some light on the issue and solves it. 

Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers,

If a contrib needs it, and at least one above has been identified, then it needs to be moved to smecontribs

[Daniel B.]

I'd rather move openssl-devel and openssl-perl to smeos. The rational is that pushing our custom openssl build into smeos, we override the one provided by upstream. So, anyone who installed openssl-perl, or openssl-devel (either manually or through a dependency) will get an error during a simple yum update, and they have to guess which repo they should enable to fix that (smecontribs or smedev), while the initial installation was done with only the default repo enabled.
