SOLVED [CPANEL-26163] *perl exclude in /etc/yum.conf prevents lvemanager from updating

[IdleServ]

Running CloudLinux 6 and it seems lvemanager-4.0-19.7.el6 now requires git to be installed which I'd rather not do as cpanel-git already provides a newer version.

The yum update is automatically failing due to perl* packages being excluded by default.

Whats the best solution to this?

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hi @IdleServ


You won't be able to use cPanel's Git for this you'll need to install the dependencies in order to update. My own test server running CentOS 7 has these as well along with cPanel's git:

[[email protected] mysql]# rpm -qa |egrep -i 'perl-git|git-1.8.3.1-14|cpanel-git-2'
cpanel-git-2.17.1-2.cp1170.x86_64
perl-Git-1.8.3.1-14.el7_5.noarch
git-1.8.3.1-14.el7_5.x86_64

Keep in mind that cPanel's Git is being used directly with cPanel services.

Thanks!

Great, thanks.

The solution to this problem was:

yum install perl-Git --disableexcludes=main

Thanks @IdleServ, this has been eating at me for several hours.

Hello Everyone,

We're publishing the following fix in cPanel & WHM version 82 to prevent the automatic addition of the perl exclude to the /etc/yum.conf file:

Case CPANEL-26163: Do not add perl exclude to yum.conf if system perl was found to be altered.

If you're using CloudLinux 6 and the "perl*" entry already exists on the "exclude=" line in the system's /etc/yum.conf file, then you must follow the steps below to solve the issue:

1. Open the system's /etc/yum.conf file via your preferred command line text editor and remove the "perl*" entry from the "exclude=" line.

2. Execute the following command as root to remove the git-cpanel CloudLinux RPM (CloudLinux no longer supports this RPM):

yum remove git-cpanel

3. Execute the following command as root to update the CloudLinux lvemanager package (this will install the proper CloudLinux Git RPM):

yum update lvemanager

Thank you.
