What OS are you on? What's the output of 'yum repolist' ?

Hi,
Here it is :

Try running this to install the conflicting package, disabling the rpmforge and dag repos to see if will install.

Code: Select all

yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge,dag -y 'perl(Test::Simple)'

If it does install, try the upgrade again to see if it works.

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
It seems it's already installed

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi ~]# yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge,dag -y 'perl(Test::Simple)'

Setting up Install Process
Package 4:perl-5.8.8-43.el5_11.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

The install stil doesn't work

Hi,
One post per day...that will take a long time to solve my problem. (I'm located in France and Nagios support in USA).
The last time I had to perform an upgrade it took one month to solve the problem, by using the support forum.

Is it possible to plan a remote session on my server in order you solve my problem ?

Rgds,

Frederic

The strange part is we are trying to install perl(Test::Simple) but the system thinks we are installing just perl. It looks like the yum cache may need to be cleaned.
Run this and see if you can get the perl(Test::Simple) to install.

Code: Select all

yum clean all
yum install --disablerepo=rpmforge,dag -y 'perl(Test::Simple)'

If it still fails, run the following and post the output.

Code: Select all

yum provides 'perl(Test::Simple)'

I Applied the changes.
It failed one more time with the same error message.

There has to be a conflict with the Dag repo, can you disable it and see if the upgrade runs?
If you do disable it, run the "yum clean all" before running the upgrade.

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
As I said : "yum clean all" before upgrade doesnt' solve my problem.

Rgds,

Frederic
