Help mysql perl installation dependencies activeperl share|improve this question asked Nov 7 '14 at 2:32 v Sugumar 809212 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote Install the Perl supplied with Fedora: sudo yum install perl This should give you /usr/bin/perl (and a lot more). But how could it go missing in the first place? Looks like someone's been messing with your system. share|improve this answer answered Nov 7 '14 at 8:42 reinierpost 5,54911849 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote rpm only knows that softwre is installed if it is noted in the rpm database. That only happens if you use rpm (or yum or, probably, packagekit) to install the software. Just installing ActivePerl like that isn't going to change anything. As you seem to have the MySQL rpm downloaded already, you can use yum's "localinstall" feature to install a local rpm and all of its dependencies. $ yum localinstall MySQL-server-5.6.21-1.el6.i686.rpm But, like others, I'm really surprised that your system doesn't already have Perl installed. I'd be very wary of a system in that condition. share|improve this answer answered Nov 7 '14 at 11:19 Dave Cross 29.1k22859 add a comm

up system --- could not determine package or source name raequinAugust 30th, 2013, 05:40 PMFirst off, I don't know what I'm doing. Therefore if you read the following list of operations expecting them to make sense it could be confusing. After using rpm, alien, and yum (more on that below) Software Center crashes and Update Manager says Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Type 'repomd' is not known on line 4 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge.list' The intent of my modifications was to run a perl script that requires "the Crypt::Tea_JS module" (here's the explanation http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/forum/general-sling-box-discussions/how-to-record-slingbox-pro-hd-stream-in-high-definition-720-or-1080/#p7528). I referred to the following instructions to install this module 1. Download the latest rpmforge-release rpm from http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/ 2. Install rpmforge-release rpm: # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release*rpm 3. Install perl-Crypt-Tea rpm package: # yum install perl-Crypt-Tea I put the rpm's in my Downloads directory. Step #2 says raequin@raequin-T530:~/Downloads$ rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead! rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing... warning: rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 6b8d79e6: NOKEY error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686 Since that did not seem to work I tried raequin@raequin-T530:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i rpmforge-release_0.5.3-2_i386.deb I guess that went okay so I went to step #3 (after installing yum). It went as follows. raequin@raequin-T530:~/Downloads$ sudo yum install perl-Crypt-Tea-2.12-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm [sudo] password for raequin: Setting up Install Process Examining perl-Crypt-Tea-2.12-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm: perl-Crypt-Tea-2.12-1.el6.rf.noarch Marking perl-Crypt-Tea-2.12-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dep
