How to fix broken dependency in repo for Centos 6

Question

Hi,

Installing on Centos 6.9 that is up-to-date with EPEL added. I get the following error:

---> Package perl-Net-LibIDN.x86_64 0:0.12-3.el6 will be installed
---> Package perl-Ocsinventory-Agent.noarch 0:2.4.0-1.el6.ocs will be installed
--> Processing Dependency: perl(Parse::EDID) for package: perl-Ocsinventory-Agent-2.4.0-1.el6.ocs.noarch
---> Package perl-Proc-ProcessTable.x86_64 0:0.48-1.el6 will be installed
---> Package perl-XML-Parser.x86_64 0:2.36-7.el6 will be installed
---> Package uuid.x86_64 0:1.6.1-10.el6 will be installed
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: perl-Ocsinventory-Agent-2.4.0-1.el6.ocs.noarch (ocsinventory)
           Requires: perl(Parse::EDID)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

How should I continue with the problem? Can Parse::EDID be included in your own repo or should I compile it from source using CPAN?

Hi,

The agent rpm will be updated to include this missing rpm. Waiting this update I suggest you to install Parse::EDID from CPAN or find a rpm for CentOS.

Kind regards
