I am trying to install a bunch of software in a dummy root, so I can copy it into new systems quickly. However whenever I use dnf install or dnf builddep with the --installroot option it fails to synchronize cache for repositories.
I thought it's missing some configuration, so I copied yum and dnf configuration files into the installroot dir:
cp /etc/dnf/dnf.conf /path/to/root_fs/etc/dnf
cp /etc/yum.conf /path/to/root_fs/etc/
cp -R /etc/yum.repos.d/ /path/to/root_fs/etc/
But still what I get is
sudo dnf -c $ROOT_FS_DIR/etc/dnf/dnf.conf install gcc --installroot=$ROOT_FS_DIR -releasever=23
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'
Dnf works fine updating my host system.
So how do I configure dnf to install packages into a different root dir.
DNF is not so clever and needs a releasever if you installs in chroots (bug). You miss single - in front of that option:
sudo dnf -c $ROOT_FS_DIR/etc/dnf/dnf.conf install gcc \
--installroot=$ROOT_FS_DIR --releasever=23
but the release 23 is already EOL so the mirrors do not have to exist anymore. You should use supported release version.

I am running Ansible playbook and trying to install OS dependencies packages for python. I am trying to run the following:
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ libffi-devel python-devel python-pip python-wheel openssl-devel libsasl2-devel openldap-devel
However, it fails at installing libsasl2-devel with the message:
"No package matching 'libsasl2-devel' found available, installed or updated"
All my instances are Amazon Linux 2 machines. Is there any alternative package for this? I tried to look into this but I found solutions for Ubuntu only.
I was able to get it to work in a series of steps. Its a yum issue after other databases are installed and not cleaned up before installing mysql
clear sasl first: sudo yum remove cyrus-sasl
if you have installed maria, there will be conflicts, remove that as well
sudo yum remove mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-libs
take note of anything uninstalled by this to re-add later. If this is too much, you can take a risk and not remove sasl, but it might not reset the availability of the package.
Start here to clean up the dependency issues: https://serverfault.com/questions/873955/how-solve-mysql-5-7-dependency follow the command given by clean all as sudo rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
This can possibly resolve your issues right there, if not continue the installation below.
delete all data left in /var/lib/mysql/ or you may have upgrade issues.
resinstall sasl:
sudo yum install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-devel and any other packages removed above.
Establish mysql5.7 with the yum services.
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el6-11.noarch.rpm
sudo yum localinstall -y mysql57-community-release-el6-11.noarch.rpm
sudo yum repolist enabled | grep "mysql.*-community.*"
sudo yum repolist enabled | grep mysql
sudo yum install -y mysql-community-common mysql-community-libs mysql-community-server mysql-community-client
if that doesn't work, re-clear the yum cache again and re-run sudo yum install -y mysql-community-server
if that works, then
sudo service mysqld start
IF the /var/lib/mysql is empty, it will have created a temporary password in the /var/log/mysqld.log (use sudo to read)
run sudo mysql_secure_installation and establish your real password and security settings.
now you should have access via mysql -u root -p
I am a newbie on openSUSE. I needed to get build-essential for the system but could not get it using sudo apt-get install build-essential or even by using sudo apt-get update and then following it with the previous code. I found a way to install most packages of build essential through sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis. But however, I am not able to obtain libframe package !! I can't directly download it because mine is an account on the office computer and I don't have the root access.
I am also attaching the screenshot of my terminal.. The error is towards the end.
Screenshot
zypper info -t pattern devel_basis to see what packages have the pattern
zypper install -t pattern devel_basis to install these packages
thanks to what-is-build-essentials-for-opensuse
I'm not sure if this requires root login or just maybe sudo privileges. These can be granted by ur system administrator. You may just need to ask for them.
You need to add the repository first before trying the zypper install
The command is
zypper ar -f URL alias
where
ar is short form of addrepo command
-f instruction to zypper to add autorefresh flag to newly added repo
URL is URL of the repo which you type in a browser to visit repo
in this case (itc): http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/
alias is name that is easy to remember. itc: openSUSE:Leap:42.2
so...
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/repo/oss/ openSUSE:Leap:42.2
I had a similar problem with ubuntu/debian command.
sudo apt-get build-essential libssl-devel
it turns out in Suse build-essential and libssl-devel would be devel_basis and openssl-devel respectively. to install I then searched on google for just openssl-devel (as it was all that I needed at that time), and followed the link from https://software.opensuse.org. Hope this helps
I am using CentOS 7.2.
I would like to install the latest version of rsync - rsync-3.1.2,
rsync-3.0.9 is on system, installed when installing mariadb with yum,
# rpm -qa |grep rsync
rsync-3.0.9-17.el7.x86_64
removing rsync-3.0.9 first,
# yum remove rsync
rsync and mariadb were removed together,
then,
installing rsync-3.1.2 from source code,
# wget https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/src/rsync-3.1.2.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf rsync-3.1.2.tar.gz
# cd rsync-3.1.2
# ./configure
# make
# make install
then,
installing mariadb with yum again,
but rsync-3.0.9 will still be installed.
How can I solve the problem?
You can install rsync 3.1.2 from the Fedora 24 .rpm package:
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/24/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/r/rsync-3.1.2-2.fc24.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh rsync-3.1.2-2.fc24.x86_64.rpm
(but that question doesn't really belong to stackoverflow)
You can install rsync 3.1.2 from the gf-plus repo. Just follow the steps below:
Install the gf-release package.
sudo rpm -Uvh http://mirror.ghettoforge.org/distributions/gf/el/7/gf/x86_64/gf-release-7-10.gf.el7.noarch.rpm
Upgrade rsync package from the gf-plus repo.
sudo yum install -y --enablerepo=gf-plus rsync
Check rsync version.
hash -r; rsync --version | awk 'NR==1 {print $3}'
If it prints 3.1.2, rsync is upgraded.
By default, only the gf repo is enabled, which claims that it "won't overwrite core distro packages". You can disable it:
sudo yum-config-manager --disable gf
(For command not found error, run sudo yum install -y yum-utils and try again.)
Or simply remove all the gf* repos by removing the gf-release package:
sudo yum remove -y gf-release
You either need to install all of your software using packages, or install all of your software from source. Trying to mix and match is going to lead to exactly the sort of problem you are experiencing here: the mariadb package has a dependency on rsync, but the package manager doesn't know anything about the files you have installed from source.
The correct way to solve this problem is to build your own rsync package that can then be installed with yum. You can start with the source package for your distribution and then modify it for 3.1.2. You may be able to utilize a more recent package (e.g., from Fedora) and rebuild it for your system.
You can find the source RPM for rsync-3.0.9 here, and there is some documentation that will hopefully help you get started here.
In Ubuntu 12.04 Precise the only way to get breakindent patch working in VIM seems to be compiling VIM itself after patching it. Here's what I've done:
Install pbuilder and create local environment
sudo apt-get install pbuilder debootstrap
sudo pbuilder create --debootstrapopts --variant=buildd
Get the sources
sudo apt-get source vim
Patch them with breakindent patch retrieved from the official repo
cd vim-7.3.429
patch -p1 < vim-breakindent.patch
sudo pbuilder build vim_7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1.dsc
Pbuilder correctly generates deb packages but, after installing them, no breakindent option is available:
:set bri
E518: Unknown option: bri
Where's the mistake?
Thank you
pbuilder is still using the unmodified .dsc, .orig.tar.gz, and .debian.tar.gz to build the package. Applying the patch to your local copy doesn't help.
You should probably add the patch to debian/patches/ and debian/patches/series, bump the local version number in debian/changelog (debchange can help), and re-make the source archive (something like dpkg-buildpackage -S).
Update: it worked following some more steps.
After apt-get source:
cd vim-7.3.429
sudo chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r ../vim-breakindent.patch
sudo cp ../vim-breakindent.patch debian/patches/debian/.
added one new entry in debian/changelog, bumping version from vim_7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1 to vim_7.3.429-2ubuntu2.2
added debian/vim-breakindent.patch at the end of debian/patches/series
generate new source package:
sudo pdebuild
compile the new .dsc:
sudo pbuilder build vim_7.3.429-2ubuntu2.2.dsc
install new debs:
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/pbuilder/result/*.deb
I have a question regarding the installation of the boost libraries. Is there a package that I can use the sudo apt-get install to install this package. I searched all of the questions in this forum and using the commands sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev I cannot install theh package with this. Also, I can download it from boost.org but I do not know the correct path to install it too. I would prefer to install it using the sudo apt-get install commands if possible. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.
Thanks.
If you want to run with the latest version, you can do the bjam install as mentioned by Ralf, but I suggest you build a 'pseudo' package so you can
uninstall it safely
prevent/notice conflicts with official/existing boost packages.
Here is how to do that:
mkdir -pv /tmp/boostinst
cd /tmp/boostinst/
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_66_0/
./bootstrap.sh --help
./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
./bootstrap.sh
checkinstall ./b2 install
On new boost version there is other way:
sudo apt-get update
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.50.0/boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_50_0
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 install
You can use command aptitude search libboost to see list of the availiable boost libraries. The last version of boost is 1.42 - maybe that's why you can't find version 1.40.
If aptitude search command don't give you sufficient results, try sudo aptitude update and then run aptitude search again.
On my version of Ubuntu (10.04) it's libboost1.40-all-dev
On your version you've probably got an older version of boost, you should just be able to tab-complete to see which version you can install.
In any case what I usually do under Ubuntu is
sudo apt-get install bjam
Extract the downloaded boost archive to your hard-drive and then cd into the root and
sudo bjam install
This way you can get the newest version of boost, and not the slightly outdated one that is available for your Ubuntu version.
This is a link which explain step by step on how to install it (give it some time read!)
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
but your inline shell command might be the simple and easy way for doing it
