Centos – Munin on Centos 6 – missing perl MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8

centoscentos6muninperlyum

I'm trying to install Munin on a new VPS through yum install munin but I keep getting an error about a missing perl module: Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8). This is the perl version currently installed: v5.10.1.

I've searched all around and still haven't found a solution for this.

Here's the relevant part of the output of the installation attempt:

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

Best Answer

You are using the EPEL 5 version of the repo instead of 6, go into your /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file and change:

mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch

to

mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

Then run yum clean all and then try and install munin again.

NOTE: you may have an issue with the GPG key being different, you need to grab the EPEL6 one or just use:

yum install munin --nogpgcheck
