Hi,

I've just tried to install ZFS on a recently update 6.4 system (64
bit). Yum complains about dependency error, see below.

Even manually installing spl-modules-dkms doesn't help, though it's
complaining about this one.

BTW, is it normal that the dkms package is available only from Epel
repo and not the main one?


Thanks,
Andras

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
