Description of problem: md5pass when run spits out an error unless a particular perl module is installed. It seems that some run time dependency is not being detected properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): syslinux-3.75-1.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Haven't tested it on other machines yet. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run md5pass 2. Get the following error: [ynemoy@bofh003 ynemoy]$ md5pass Can't locate Crypt/PasswdMD5.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/md5pass line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/md5pass line 4. 3. Fail Actual results: Noted above Expected results: an md5sum of a password Additional info: This seems to solve the problem. [ynemoy@bofh003 ynemoy]$ sudo yum install perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5.noarch Maybe this needs to be included as a depedency manually? PS, ummm... why is md5pass in syslinux?
Also perl-Digest-SHA1 is missing (as syslinux's sha1pass fails to run as well). Why didn't those two dependencies get picked up with RPMS auto-dependencies? Yaakov: Why syslinux includes sha1pass and md5pass.. So you can generate passwords for the menus.. (see /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.75/menu.txt specificity the second on menu password)
