Hi,

Having a dependency problem getting an awstats RPM installed on RH
5.2.  Basically when I try to install the RPM I'm told I need the perl
LWP::UserAgent module.
OK, so I do this:

[aa at bb]$ sudo cpan -i LWP::UserAgent
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /home/jq/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:28:42 GMT
LWP::UserAgent is up to date.

I then try the RPM install again and am still told that the problem still exists

[aa at bb]$ sudo rpm -i awstats-6.8-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(LWP::UserAgent) is needed by awstats-6.8-1.noarch

I tried to install LWP::UserAgent using yum but it does not seem to be available

[aa at bb]$ sudo yum install perl-LWP-UserAgent
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
rhel-x86_64-server-5      100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package perl-LWP-UserAgent available.
Nothing to do
[aa at bb]$


Any ideas?  I'm not the only one with this problem (

solution yet.

Thanks,
Paschal.
