It is easy to end up with a dependency on a package that is in EPEL when you are playing with source rpms that were originally built for Fedora and build them on CentOS. To summarise what to do about it. (The -y option just causes yum to not ask some confirmations that you would have to answer y to, I include it because I'm lazy). 1. Install EPEL using the commands sudo yum -y install epel-release sudo yum -y update 2. Install the rpm package using the command sudo yum -y install spamassassin-3.4.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm Regards, Sidney

It does what it has always done: installs the contents of an .rpm file without any attempt to resolve dependencies. Apart from having the ability to contain an optional dependency list and to list its contents and package descriptions, rpm does exactly the same job as zip or tar. Using the dependency list in an rpm archive to pull in any other rpm archives that an rpm archive depends on is the job of yum or dnf, which use the dependency list on the requested archive(s) to search the rpm repository for any other rpm archives that the one(s) you requested depend on. What has changed is that yum has been replaced by dnf in more recent releases of Fedora, RHEL and CentOS. yum and dnf do the same job: resolve dependencies and then install the requested rpm archive(s) *along with* any other .rpm files that the ones you requested depend on. Bottom line: always use dnf or yum to install, erase, or update rpm packages held in a Redhat or third party repository. Only use rpm itself to install freestanding rpm archives which are not distributed as part of an rpm repository. Martin

The CentOS 7 repository does not contain spamassassin-3.4.4-1, nor does a search on rpmfind show any el7 build for that version of SpamAssassin. If you got this rpm from an unofficial source who perhaps built it from the source rpm for Spamassassin 3.4.4 in the Fedora repo, talk to whoever did that about how they built the package and how they install it on CentOS. 2. Using the rpm command to install a local rpm file does not automatically install dependencies from a repo. Always use yum (or dnf in newer CentOS or in Fedora) instead of the now old rpm program. 3. Those packages listed in the error message are available for CentOS 7 in the EPEL repo. Often packages that are built from a source rpm that was written for Fedora will depend on packages that are not in the main CentOS repo but have been ported to EPEL. It is a good idea when trying to port a package from Fedora to CentOS to install the EPEL repo so yum will also look there for dependencies. That and using yum instead of rpm command would have solved this particular dependency error. 4. See point 1. Even if you try suggestions based on 2 and 3, there is no guarantee that the spamassassin-3.4.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm you have was properly built.

The named packages are not provided by CentOS but rather EPEL. yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release will enable EPEL on the box and then the required deps should be available when you go to install the SpamAssassin rpm. -- Ask the young.
