Installing perl-Time-HiRes on RHEL6.2 gives perl dependency error

Question

I get the following when trying to install perl-Time-HiRes:

host1:user1 > sudo yum install perl-Time-HiRes Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register. Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-Time-HiRes.x86_64 4:1.9721-119.el6_1.1 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: perl = 4:5.10.1-119.el6_1.1 for package: 4:perl-Time-HiRes-1.9721-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 4:perl-Time-HiRes-1.9721-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 (rhel-6-6.2-server) Requires: perl = 4:5.10.1-119.el6_1.1 Installed: 4:perl-5.10.1-129.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-RedHatEnterpriseLinux-201301301459.x86_64/6.4) perl = 4:5.10.1-129.el6 Available: 4:perl-5.10.1-119.el6_1.1.x86_64 (rhel-6-6.2-server) perl = 4:5.10.1-119.el6_1.1 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest 

I don't understand. It seems to be looking for perl-5.10.1-129? But the latest available is perl-5.10.1-119, as far as I can tell.

I have the EPEL repos enabled, though this package is from the repo rhel-6-6.2-server.

I am actually trying to install munin-node, but it fails on the same package.

Answer 1

This is really a comment but I don't have enough points...

I've seen similar problems when doing yum updates. (and it is yum update not yum upgrade).

Usually, this is easily resolved by doing a "yum update ", i.e. "yum update perl" then, if that succeeds, do the "yum update perl-Time-HiRes"

Answer 2

As spotted by @MichaelHampton, I am actually using 6.4, but it was configured to use the 6.2 repos (guess a mistake when the server was built for me). Using the 6.4 repos worked fine.
