Description of problem: The ejabberd package Requires erlang which is not provided by EPEL or upstream. After installing epel-release on a CentOS 5 box and running 'yum install ejabberd' I get this: Error: Missing Dependency: erlang is needed by package ejabberd
ejabberd is in the EPEL repository, but erlang is in the EPEL-testing repository, not sure how that happened. I've posted a message to the EPEL development list to try and figure out a solution. # yum --enablerepo=epel-testing list ejab\* erlang\* Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Available Packages ejabberd.i386 1.1.4-3.el5 epel ejabberd-doc.i386 1.1.4-3.el5 epel erlang.i386 R11B-2.3.el5 epel-testing erlang-doc.i386 R11B-2.3.el5 epel-testing
Ok. finally we are able to close this ticket :)
