I'm trying to get the RPM's to install and their are failed dependencies... But there shouldn't be!
Here's what I get:
# rpm -ivh perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55-1.7.3.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: perl(HTML::Parser) is needed by perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55-1
But, when I try to update it, again, I get:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Parser' CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Wed, 16 Jul 2003 08:44:47 GMT HTML::Parser is up to date.
Sounds like you're mixing RPM and non-RPM modes of install.
HTML::Parser exists on your system, but since you installed it via CPAN RPM has no idea it's on there.
RPM doesn't generally search your system for things.. it only knows that the RPM for HTML::Parser was never installed.
In general RPM is kind of a "all or nothing" deal.. once you start installing libraries, tools, etc via non-rpm methods, you won't be able to install RPMs that depend on them.
My suggestion would be to install SA from tarballs.. it's a much more reliable method of install than RPM when it comes to SpamAssassin anyway. Since the binary RPMs are specific to a particular version of redhat, and assume that every perl module you need was installed via RPM, it makes them tougher to get going.
