When rpm install for sysstat package complains of missing /etc/cron.d, while cron.d suggest missing cron package, the actual missing package is vixie-cron.
rpm -Ivh sysstat*.rpm
- dependency fails due to missing /etc/cron.d
rpm -qa|grep cron
- following should be installed, otherwise install these first:
- crontabs-...
- vixie-cron-...
- anacron-...
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am also havign the same problem.
I have uninstalled cron, cronie, postfix,crontab, sysstat when I removed a package for which these were the dependencies.
Now when I want to install these, I am not able to
$ rpm -Uvh crontabs-1.10-33.el6.noarch.rpm
warning: crontabs-1.10-33.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
/etc/cron.d is needed by crontabs-1.10-33.el6.noarch
could you please tell me what I have to do
Have you tried installing vixie-cron and anacron first? You could install them together as:
Deleterpm -ivh vixie-cron*.rpm anacron*.rpm crontabs*.rpm
