I would need some help to get pwr56 to be installed to CentOS 8.

As a background we have our servers running on CentOS 7/8 and workstations and laptops are running CentOS 7/8
and Fedora 29/30. Ubuntu(Debian) does not fit in ecosystem due security and reliability issues. Raspberrys are running mostly Rasbian inside factry network without connection to outside world. RHEL/CentOS has a 10 year lifespan which basicly outlives underlying computer hardware. We have been using Linux in business since 1996 (that time RedHat on DEC Alpha).

I have converted pwr56-5.6.1-2.x86_64.deb to pwr56-5.6.1-2.x86_64.rpm with included scriipts but installing it generates errors:

---

error: Failed dependencies:

but:
installed are
libdb-5.3.28-36.el8.x86_64
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.21 -> /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.20 (symlink)
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1 -> /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.0.8 (symlink)

and

rpm -i pwr56-5.6.1-2.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
generates:
file / from install of pwr56-5.6.1-2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.8-2.el8.x86_64


and when compiled from source we end up with:

Any ideas?

Hi Harri,

I think the missing yywrap should be found in the flex package. Have you installed flex?

/Claes

flex-2.6.1-9.el8.x86_64 is already installed

I am also facing same issue on CentOS 7. Is there a solution for this issue?

Error: Package: blx-lb-1.0-13.0.x86_64 (/blx-lb-1.0-13.0.x86_64)
Requires: libdb-5.3.so(DB5_3)(64bit)

[root@localhost 64bit]# rpm -qa | grep libdb
libdb-5.3.21-25.el7.x86_64

libdb-5.3 is already installed.
