perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hm. But apt seems to think that the package specifically requires -19 (= rather than >=)? Am I reading this incorrectly?

When trying to install `perfsonar-testpoint`, I get this:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

 

—skip-broken does this over again and installs nothing. You can’t remove the -25 revision of openssl because everything depends on it. How do we get around this issue?

 

I’m not seeing that on a fresh install of the production or staging (beta) code and an install of just openssl on a bare EL7 machine works just fine.  In all three instances, 1:openssl-1.0.2k-26.el7_9 and the same version of openssl-libs are installed.

 

Your system appears to have a variety of versions installed or available, which makes me wonder if there’s a combination of mirrors involved where one that got used wasn’t up to date.  A ‘yum clean all’ followed by a ‘yum update’ to bring everything up to current and then installing the testpoint might work.

 

My take on situations like that is that the system got itself into a weird state and should be nuked from orbit because it’s the only way to be sure.  :-)
