check_email_age.pl, check_pop3_account.pl throws error

[gmills]

Hello,

thanks in advance!

I'm trying to use the plugins check_email_age.pl, check_pop3_account.pl. However, they throw error. fyi, I'm not a perl developer.

when I execute as test the plugins I get the following:

./check_email_age.pl -H 3.159.212.217 -u r00675859 -p GE210User -P pop3s

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I've tried locating and installing the depency package but I can't locate a good one

Where can I find the Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.3) for package: perl-Mail-POP3Client-2.19-5.el7.noarch ??? to use these plugins?

I found it. Mail-POP3Client-2.19.tar.gz
for RedHat it can be found at - https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/epel/7/x8 ... oarch.html

I put the Mail-POP3Client-2.19/lib/Mail/POP3Client.pm in the path seen by the scripts INC, and it works as expected.

glad to see you have it sorted.

One thing I noticed in your output when trying to install it is that you have a repo for epel AND epel_6_x86_64

and the paching that was trying to be installed was an el7 package, which leads me to believe the epel repo you have installed is for version 7 not 6.

I would check it out in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and if it is for the wrong OS version deactivate it
