[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 Missing Dependancy
I am trying to install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5 from rf and it is failing suggesting it needs /usr/bin/false. #yum whatprovides /usr/bin/false yields nothing. My CentOS 5.1 machines don't have this, and this is the same list of yum install items I always use when setting up assp. Any idea what to do? jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There is not a /usr/bin/false, but there IS a /bin/false on a stock 5.2 install. You might check in the rpmforge forums/list archives for some mention of this problem. I thought I might be able to symlink /bin/false to /usr/bin/false (a kludge, I admit) or copy /bin/false to /usr/bin/false, but neither seems to work for me.

The problem would be if yum checks it's db to see if it has previously installed /usr/bin/false and find that it hasn't. In that case it won't wok. Why don't you try it and see what happens.
