Hi,

OS: Centos 5.6
Last few lines of yum update command executed as root.

Any help is appreciated.

perl-AnyEvent-5.240-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge has depsolving problems

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::SSLeay) >= 1.33 is needed by package perl-AnyEvent-5.240-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge)
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.

As near as I can tell, it looks like a problem with RPMforge. Their Centos 5 packages of perl-AnyEvent seems to require perl-Net-SSLeay with a version of at least 1.33. However, there doesn't seem to be a perl-Net-SSLeay package available for Centos 5 with a version greater than 1.30. The really odd thing is that RPMforge seems to have up to date perl-Net-SSLeay packages for Centos 4, but none for 5.

I would suggest contacting the RPMforge people and asking for advice. It looks like they just overlooked providing perl-Net-SSLeay for Centos 5.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could also try grabbing a perl-Net-SSLeay source rpm from another distribution (RPMforge's Centos 4 package is probably your best bet) and then compile it for Centos 5.

Hi,

I have a second server with the same configuration and the update works without any problems.

Wondering how only this server can throw an error?

That is odd. On the working server, try this:

$ yum provides 'perl(Net::SSLeay)'

That should show you which packages it thinks are available that provide the necessary package. I don't have a lot of extra repos configured on my Centos boxes, so mine only comes up with perl-Net-SSLeay in Centos base.

Hi,

Here's the output.

# yum provides 'perl(Net::SSLeay)'

try:

yum clean all
yum update

the first command clean all the yum cache and metadata, maybe you are using an rpmforge mirror and your fastest mirror plugin use an outdated mirror, or your yum metadata is corrupted or outdated

I'm at a loss. It looks like your working server is using the same perl-Net-SSLeay that's part of Centos 5.6 base. But that package only provides perl(Net::SSLeay) = 1.30 while perl-AnyEvent needs perl(Net::SSLeay) >= 1.33. I don't know why it worked on that server.

I tried after executing yum clean all but the problem still exists.
But it did one extra thing.

Same here, I don't understand how it worked on my other server.
The only difference is the applications installed. One is an application server and the other one has the database.

This should give you 1.36-
cpan -i Net::SSLeay

Here's what happened.

I don't know if you noticed, but they responded to your question on the RPMforge mailing list:
http://lists.repoforge.org/pipermail/users/2011-June/022248.html

It looks like the perl-Net-SSLeay package you need is in the RPMforge extras repo. So enabling that should fix your problem. It also seems like RPMforge extras isn't indexed by pkgs.org, which is why I came up empty-handed while trying to find a proper package.

Edit: Oops. Just noticed you replied further along in that thread, and they were able to help you get everything straightened out.

Yes, I did that and it worked.
