I'm trying to update my SG running on EC2 to the new 1.2 version.

However, when I try to install the rpm I'm getting:

perl(strict) is needed by couchbase-sync-gateway-1.2.0-79.x86_64

Is there a new dependency for SG 1.2?

OK, so I did a sudo yum install perl and it worked.

Is there a list of SG required dependencies?

Also, I see there is a sync_gateway_service_upgrade.sh script now. Is there any documentation on this? How is this different that just re-running the sync_gateway_service_install.sh again?

Glad you were able to workaround the problem, but there shouldn't have been a perl dependency in the first place. We'll take a look and try to sort out where that was coming from.

This is a real head-scratcher. We don't have any known direct or indirect dependencies on Perl.

Are you using a public AMI? If so, can you share the AMI number so we can try to reproduce?

When upgrading via a package manager e.g. rpm -U, the sync_gateway_service_upgrade.sh just sops a starts the Sync Gateway service to use the new binary distribution. Other installation setup steps are skipped.

I'm not using a public AMI. Just Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (HVM).

What's even weirder is that I have 2 EC2 nodes. The first one worked fine, and the second one had the perl issue. We are very careful to make sure both nodes are exactly the same. (Will most likely move to docker down the road)

I did uninstall using rpm -e the previous sg version and reinstalled using rpm -i.
