Description Tuomo Soini 2021-11-30 15:25:07 UTC

Rex-1.13.4-1.el8 depends on perl(Net::SSH2) which is not available so it can't be installed.

Comment 1 Dominic Hopf 2022-06-30 10:59:44 UTC

Hi Tuomo,

thanks very much for reporting this issue and sorry for my delayed response on this. I have no RHEL-based system around to check out if this issue is still present, though. Are you able to verify if the package probably is available in the meanwhile?

Regards,
Dominic

As far as I can see the issue here isn't an issue with Rex, but rather an issue that perl-Net-SSH is not present in EPEL8 and EPEL9. I've opened these issues here:

Comment 3 Carl George 🎩 2023-05-08 22:03:52 UTC

The dependency is on perl-Net-SSH2, not perl-Net-SSH.  There needs to be a request for perl-Net-SSH2 in EPEL 8.  This bug should stay open until the issue is resolved, i.e. once Rex installs correctly from EPEL 8.  Once a bug is open to request perl-Net-SSH2 in EPEL 8, it should be marked as blocking this bug.

Oh, my fault. Thanks for pointing this out!
