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 # lsb_release -d Description: Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon) # yum install --disableplugin=fastestmirror --enablerepo=sl-addons zfs Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit, security 82 packages excluded due to repository protections Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package zfs.x86_64 0:0.6.0-rc14.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: zfs-modules for package: zfs-0.6.0-rc14.el6.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package zfs-modules-dkms.noarch 0:0.6.0-rc14.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: spl-modules-dkms = X for package: zfs-modules-dkms-0.6.0-rc14.el6.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: zfs-modules-dkms-0.6.0-rc14.el6.noarch (sl-addons) Requires: spl-modules-dkms = X Installed: spl-modules-dkms-0.6.0-rc14.el6.noarch (@sl-addons) spl-modules-dkms = 0.6.0-rc14.el6 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem On Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:16:14 -0500 Pat Riehecky <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > The HELiOS folks, Connie, and I have been communication about this > for some time.
