Topic: Unable to To install from SME Contribs Repo.

[p-jones]

Have been trying to install a contrib (Sysmon)  and am getting lots of errors re missing dependancies. Have installed this many times previously without issues.

Using
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-sysmon

Result
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el5.rf.i386 from smecontribs has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libdbi.so.0 is needed by package rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el5.rf.i386 (smecontribs)
rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el5.rf.i386 from smecontribs has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 is needed by package rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el5.rf.i386 (smecontribs)

  --> Missing Dependency: ruby is needed by package rrdtool-1.4.7-1.el5.rf.i386 (smecontribs)

Really dont know where to go next to sort this and am suspicious there is an issue with the Contribs repository

Using SME 8 fully updated, clean install
 
In response to a comment from Janet in previous post / previous thread, I didnt blow original install away because of this. I blew it away because I made it dirty in the process of working out how to achieve what I really wanted from it so I dont think I am wasting time.

do
yum clean all
wait a minute or two
and try again
The install appears to work OK for me on a SME 8 server, pulling packages from smecontribs, base & updates repos

If the above does not resolve the install issue then show us the output of
db yum_repositories show base
db yum_repositories show updates
db yum_repositories show smeaddons
db yum_repositories show smeextras
db yum_repositories show smeos
db yum_repositories show smeupdates

db yum_repositories show smecontribs


You can also run this commend to see which repos are configured & what their status is
/sbin/e-smith/audittools/repositories

Here is my install log

Is this ok [y/N]:

[p-jones]

Thank you Janet for the pointers.

I did not chek which repositories were enabled (my bad) and I found neither of the Centos repositories were enable.

I dont know how or why in this  case. I have not encountered this previously. They have been enabled by default from the outset which is how I came to overlook them on this occasion.
