Recently I discovered problems trying to install anything using yum on new servers based on CentOS 6 (64-bit) + WHM/cPanel. I was trying to install subversion using yum:
yum install subversion
And I was getting following output:
Error: Package: subversion-1.6.11-7.el6.x86_64 (base)
Requires: perl(URI) >= 1.17
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 5 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
bandmin-1.6.1-5.noarch has missing requires of perl(bandmin.conf)
bandmin-1.6.1-5.noarch has missing requires of perl(bmversion.pl)
bandmin-1.6.1-5.noarch has missing requires of perl(services.conf)
exim-4.77-1.x86_64 has missing requires of perl(SafeFile)
frontpage-2002-SR1.2.i386 has missing requires of libexpat.so.0 And I would get that trying to install just about anything with yum or by calling yum check.
To solve this problem you will have to open /etc/yum.conf for editing and to locate perl* in exclude= line and remove it (just perl* part). Now install anything by running the yum install package_name it will solve all those problems that you had! Once the installation is done and problems are solved, don’t forget to put perl* back to /etc/yum.conf in exclude= list!

How can i remove that do i need to use any ediotor to remove that line like vi /etc/yum.conf ??? and what about this command do this one help? yum --disableexcludes=main install git
any text editor is fine... vi /etc/yum.conf would do just fine...
Thank you. This worked perfectly. I wast trying to install git and it just wasn't working. The one thing I was wondering is why perl should be excluded. Do you know why that would be?
Tried using this
# yum install git-core
Worked great. Thanks for the tip.
That was precise
Thanks.
CPanel has that perl exclude in yum.conf for a reason. CPanel ships their own version of perl and apparently the updated, sane version from the OS vendor doesn't meet their requirements.
Removing anything from the yum.conf exclude line and expecting CPanel to work (for some value of "work") later on is very optimistic.

Is there a way to get FrontPage installed back on the server via yum? It's gone after a cpanel update.
I have no idea since I don't use FrontPage at all. Have you tried to google that question out?
