hello,
i am getting this error when i am trying to update my system.
yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package perl-Authen-SASL needs perl(GSSAPI), this is not available.
i am running CentOS release 3.6 (Final)
i did a little googling and was even more confused about this. what packages should i have to make the update work?
thanks
Steven

This would seem to indicate that you're attempting to upgrade perl-Authen-SASL and cannot because a require dependency is not found. You need to figure out which repository that package is coming from. It may be that the repository providing that package is not providing the dependency.

you might want to try yum --enablerepo=centosplus perl-GSSAPI, or search yum for the correct extention name:
yum --enablerepo=centosplus search GSSAPI
If neither of those get you anywhere then I would install the package below and try yum update again.

I think it's a dependency bug in the RPMforge repo (Dag) and it's there for months. I posted the RPMforge list about it two weeks ago. No reactions.
I've added a "exclude=perl-Net-LDAP perl-Authen-SASL" line to yum.conf
Cheers,

Thanks Jim & Henk,
Thank you so much, it was DAGS depository that was giving me the troubles. I disabled it for now and it is running now and finished with no problems...

It is actually a bug in Yum. It should not bail out on a dependency problem.

The yum maintainer would disagree with you. (:
