Hi good people
i have just upgraded a server from SME8 to SME9, everything has gone fine until i wanted to install https://wiki.contribs.org/WebFiltering,
i have done the Epel and FWS, but as soon as i get to install yum --enablerepo=epel --enablerepo=fws install smeserver-webfilter
then i get the following error,
--> Processing Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) for package: perl-File-Tail-0.99.3-5.el5.1.noarch
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: perl-File-Tail-0.99.3-5.el5.1.noarch (epel)
Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8)
Been looking for a while to try sort this out and hit a brick wall, anyone got any ideas to head me in the right direction
a bit of history, the sme 8 has not been updated since we had that samba problem with computers on the domain not being able to connected,
many thanks
john

you're trying to install an el5 (centos5 - SM8) package..
reset (https://wiki.contribs.org/Yum:restoring_default_repositories) your repositories, reconfigure epel and fws and retry

hi Stepano
thanks for that, i did suspect that and had tried it, after your message i tried again, three times,,, hopeful.
It clears all the repositories, but doesn't solve my problem. exactly the same error,
will keep at it as i need the webfiltering to work on this server.
thanks

Well, it seems you lack epel and fws repos
Please reconfigure then for SME9, and retry

Yes Stefano you are correct, sorry my bad, i had run the Repo reset, Last night i tried several times to sort this out, eventually i had enough and left it, this morning i followed the exactly same steps i had been trying yesterday, and blow me down the flippin thing started working, I am totally confused, but i do suspect now that it was perhaps an internet problem. I really thought i was going crazy.
Stefano thanks for your help and keeping me sane.
thanks

good thing everything finally works.
As pointed Stefano about your first post : "perl-File-Tail-0.99.3-5.el5.1.noarch" indicates with the "el5" that you might have used the part of how to for SME8 ( el5 is for red hat enterprise linux 5 or centos 5 or SME8).
When you reset the repo db you erased all non base repo whiche gave what you show us. And now by following the right part of the how to you have isntalled the el6 packages for SME9.
this is a common mistake, and your post might help others !
