I am trying to install Subversion on CentOS 5.5 but get the following output:

root@alpha [~]# yum -y install subversion

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

I'm an amateur when it comes to working with *nix so could someone please be specific in assisting me with this matter?

Thanks

Did you try this ?

yum -y install subversion --skip broken

[Johnny D]

Try:

wget ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
rpm -i perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
yum install subversion

I think you are using cPanel. Perl packages are excluded in /etc/yum.conf

Absolutely right - you would want to edit /etc/yum.conf and remove "perl*" from the exclude line just long enough to install subversion and then add it back.

The reason I would say to add it back, is that cPanel excludes perl upgrades from YUM for a reason, likely it's to prevent YUM upgrades from breaking cPanel.
