OS = CentOS-5.2 perl = 5.8.8
I get git from the yum repository at kernel.org. Up until the most recent update I had no problems. Now I am getting these dependency errors:
Error: Missing Dependency: libcurl.so.4 is needed by package git Error: Missing Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0) is needed by package perl-Git Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7) is needed by package git Error: Missing Dependency: libexpat.so.1 is needed by package git Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.7 is needed by package git
Are these dependencies actually meaningful? By that I mean, are there features used in the latest release of GiT that depend upon features of GLIBC 2.7 that are not part of glibc-2.5? Similarly, are there features of curl used in the latest git that are not present or work differently in curl 7.15.2? Ditto for OpenSSL and libxpat.
I would like to stay current with git but I cannot if these dependencies are actually required.
