CLOSED: Amahi 8 unable to resolve dependencies for hda-ctl and hda-platform

[skyhopper88]

So I just built a new server with a smaller form factor (my old Amahi 7 is a refurbished desktop), and what luck Amahi 8 just came out!

I have installed Fedora 21 from the Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso from a USB and it seemed fine. I initially had some issues with the net install not booting after install but that ended up being a IOS/UEFI issue. I did a UEFI install from the server DVD iso but oddly enough it didn't like using the image as a repo source and I had it pull from the net in the end.

Anyway my real problem is i can't install hda-ctl or hda-platform as per the guide. They list ruby 2.1.6 as a dependency but the repos only have 2.1.7. I don't believe yum can ignore dependencies (which is usually). Can I have it ignore the version difference someho? It seems safe in this instance I would think. I tried downloading the rpm and ignored all dependencies but that may have made things worse (some portion of the install that proceeded assumed I already had an apache user/group).

I'm not opposed to starting over if I can get past this (embarrassing) roadblock. If I wanted dependency hell I'd go wish Slackware jk I'm just a bit rusty. I love 7 and looks like I'll love 8 if I can get it installed.

Same issue here. Tried both Fedora Netinstall and full DVD install -- same thing. Messages say:

hda-platform-8.0.0-1.x86_64 (amahi)
Requires: ruby(release) = 2.1.6

Several other versions of ruby are listed as available, but that doesn't clear the dependency.

By the way, this is a "clean" install of Amahi 8 on Fedora 21.

Tips? Workarounds?

Thanks in advance!

Wonder if this dependency just got updated by Fedora as I did an install a few days ago and had no issues.

Try doing the following as root user:

Code: Select all

yum clean metadata

After that, try installing hda-ctl and hda-platform again.

If this issue persists, please submit a bug report so we can take action.

Thanks for the quick response.

Same problem after the command you gave me. Submitting bug report next.

Thanks! We will get right on it once the bug report is submitted.

BTW, I just discovered the same problem on my HDA doing an update. I will add to the bug report once I see it.
