Title: help needed with remoteuseraccess contrib (SOLVED)
Post by: del on November 30, 2006, 02:12:29 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to install smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-10.noarch.rpm, but I get this:

error: Failed dependencies:
perl-CGI-FormMagick >= 0.92-08 is needed by smeserver-remoteuseraccess-1.2-10.noarch.rpm

I have searched the forum but I can't find perl-CGI-FormMagick as a rpm or anything. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Regards,
Del

How are you installing it ?

My guess is that you are using rpm to install this RPM. One of the problems is that this installer can detect but can not resolve dependencies. As of SME7 there is a new installer, it is called yum. This installer is, to some extend, capable of resolving dependencies.

As displayed by william_syd the required dependencie is available in the smeupdates repository. The rpms in this repository are not tested, but will be released as soon as they have been tested and certified.

IMHO the risk of installing it is little, if you like you can install it like this:

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall /path/to/local/rpm --enablerepo=smeupdates or if you want to install it directly from the dungog repository:

Code: [Select]

yum install smeserver-remoteuseraccess --enablerepo=dungog --enablerepo=smeupdates

Oh. I thought smeupdates are tested and smeupdates-testing are not.

smeupdates is one of 3 enabled by default.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, after reading the comments here I remembered that I have been getting an email about updates being available, so I ran yum update and perl-CGI-FormMagick 0.92-08 was one of the updates :oops:  So it has installed OK now :D Thanks again.

Regards,
Del
