There's a possible bug in the RPM with dependency checking.
Upon trying to install the 6.3.0 RPM under Fedora Core 3 I received the
following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root/->rpm -Uvh SlimServer_v6.3.0.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-Digest-SHA1 is needed by slimserver-6.3.0-1.noarch
I then successfully installed Digest::SHA1 v. 2.11 using CPAN, my preferred
method of managing Perl modules:
---------------
CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/Digest-SHA1-2.11.tar.gz
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Digest::SHA1

Attempted to install Slimserver again with the following result:
---------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root/Desktop->rpm -Uvh SlimServer_v6.3.0.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-Digest-SHA1 is needed by slimserver-6.3.0-1.noarch
---------------
I finally took the clue from the name given in the error that what it was
looking for was the RPM version of Digest::SHA1. Installed that RPM via
Yum, reattemped Slimserver installation and it worked perfectly.
The bottom line is that it appears that the install script is looking for
the RPM version of Digest::SHA1 and ignores that the actual module may be
already installed via other means.
