Topic: [SOLVED] Fail2Ban Dependancy Issue

[jameswilson]

Have moved from 8.2 to 9.1 using affa
All seems to be ok but I think I have an epel repo problem?
Cant install fail2ban and have these messages

[root@tsi ~]# yum --enablerepo=fws --enablerepo=epel install smeserver-fail2ban

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

be sure to have the correct repo (all must point to EL6) and do

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=* clean all

before retrying

You genius Thanks

I had tried a
yum clean all

but not with the repo*

Thanks again

The current officially recommended command
yum clean all --enablerepo=*

has replaced the previous
yum clean all

The longer command allows repos that are configured but disabled, to also be "cleaned".
