libssh2 version problem for rex rpm and Amazon AMI Linux

[Hiroaki Nakamura]

Hi all.

I had a problem to install rex on Amazon AMI Linux using the rex
CentOS 6 repository,
described at http://rexify.org/get/index.html

rpm --import http://rex.linux-files.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-REXIFY-REPO.CENTOS6

cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/rex.repo <<EOF
[rex]
name=Fedora \$releasever - \$basearch - Rex Repository
baseurl=http://rex.linux-files.org/CentOS/\$releasever/rex/\$basearch/
enabled=1
EOF

yum install rex

First, I had to change \$releasever to 6, since it becomes 'latest' on
Amazon AMI Linux.

I retried with this fix, but got a dependency error.

--> Processing Dependency: libssh2 >= 1.2.8 for package: rex-0.38.0-1.x86_64
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 2:perl-Net-SSH2-0.45-2.x86_64 (rex)
Requires: libssh2 >= 1.4.2
Installed: libssh2-1.2.2-11.8.amzn1.x86_64 (installed)
libssh2 = 1.2.2-11.8.amzn1

I found we can use the epel repository on Amazon AMI Linux.
http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/faqs/#epel

And epel has perl-Net-SSH2-0.45, which depends on libssh2 <= 1.2.2-11.
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/epel/6/x86_64/perl-Net-SSH2-0.45-2.el6.x86_64.html

So could you change the rex rpm to depend on the epel perl-Net-SSH2 instead of
the perl-Net-SSH in the rex repository?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks,

Hi,

the problem here is the priority plugin in yum.

If you add this line to your rex.repo file than it works:

priority=5

Could you add an entry for Amazon AMI Linux at
