Installing Percona Xtrabackup with WHM/cPanel

[63bus]

Has anyone used Percona's Xtrabackup on a CPanel server?

I am trying to install it via
yum install xtrabackup

I get the following output:

Missing Dependency: perl(DBD::mysql) is needed by package percona-xtrabackup-21-2.1.9-746.rhel5.x86_64 (percona-release-x86_64)
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(DBD::mysql) is needed by package percona-xtrabackup-21-2.1.9-746.rhel5.x86_64 (percona-release-x86_64)

If I run
perl -MCPAN -e shell
and then
upgrade DBD::mysql

It states:

All modules are up to date for DBD::mysql

So I'm confused - what is missing?

Hello

Please ensure you review the following document regarding the Perl environments on cPanel:

Perl Environments and Modules

Thank you.

Thank you, I did not realize this should be done through WHM.

Unfortunately when checking DBD::mysql through Module Installers and trying to install the RPM through Install an RPM I get the same messages. Here is the Install the RPM output:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Install complete.

This is a third-party application, so it might be a good idea to report this issue to their support team. You could try temporarily removing the "perl*" exclusion in /etc/yum.conf and then adding it back after completing the installation steps.

Thank you.
