Installing Subversion on a cPanel Server

[Michael_SA]

How do I install subversion on a cPanel server.

I have tried running this in ssh:

#yum install subversion

but it gives the following error:

[email protected] [~]# yum install subversion

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.

Can anyone help?

I solved the problem using the following way:

1. Removed perl* part from the yum repository(/etc/yum.conf)
2. yum install subversion
3. Add perl* back to the yum.conf file

Thanks mate. I'll give this a go.

I was having the same issue and came up with the better way to fix the issue and no need to remove/install perl.
I hope this helps everyone and we can stop looking for a solution finally.

Good luck.

You can insted force install the required RPM:

rpm -ivh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
yum install subversion

EDIT:
BTW, This is not needed in Centos/CloudLinux 6.x

Awesome that these workarounds are no longer needed on CentOS 6. "yum install subversion" just works, finally. Thanks for the tip.

Oops, I spoke too soon. This method "yum install subversion" will get you a three year old version!

svn --version

What in the world??? Does anyone have a decent recipe for getting a simple yum install to give you an up to date version of svn?

You can insted force install the required RPM:

rpm -ivh http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
yum install subversion

Do not forget to change link to reflect version of CentOS. For example, for Centos 5.5 link would be

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.5/os/i386/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm

Thanks for the tip Adnan.
