Summary: no perl-XML-Simple

Initial Comment:
System Imager requires perl-XML-Simple (in rpm form),
but doesn't provide a package for it. This package is
required for Red Hat operation.

I downloaded XML::Simple from CPAN website (link provided from
systemimager.org) and extracted, ran 'perl Makefile.PL, then make, make
test, make install. I even tested it with a simple perl script using
'require XML::Simple'. The test script showed no errors (so XML::Simple
was installed).

When installing the server RPM, I get the following messages:

# rpm -ivh systemimager-server-3.8.1-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(XML::Simple) >= 2.14 is needed by
systemimager-server-3.8.1-1.noarch


# find /usr -name Simple.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/XML/Simple.pm


Installing the RPM with the --nodeps option worked. Running the software
(si_getimage) shows no signs of a problem with XML::Simple.

Annoying but not a show stopper.

perl-XML-Simple RPM is now readily available in most Linux distributions.
For RHEL, you can either download them from here:

http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/oscar/trunk/share/prereqs/perl-XML-Simple/distro/

Or get it from the Dag / Rpmforge repositories.

The SystemImager RPM requires the perl-XML-Simple dependency in RPM
format, so even though you installed perl-XML-Simple by compiling from
sources, the RPM will not be able to know that. You have two options:

1) Install perl-XML-Simple RPMs from the above mentioned locations (you
may probably want to uninstall the source version too)
2) Or simply force the installation of the SystemImager RPM installation
since you have already installed the prereq by using rpm's --nodeps /
--force options
