cPanel Sysup unzip Dependency Error

0 Comments

Hello again. I’ve encountered this issue before and usually fixed it by removing the rpm package. But this time, I solved it by installing it instead of removing it. On a server with cPanel installed, I ran 'yum update', and it stopped with the following error:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: git-1.7.1-9.el6_9.x86_64 (@base)
Requires: perl-Git = 1.7.1-9.el6_9
Error: Package: git-1.7.1-9.el6_9.x86_64 (@base)
Requires: perl(Git)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

This message basically means that the unzip package is required but couldn’t be installed.

So I thought, if cPanel can't install it, I’ll install it myself.

yum install unzip

But during installation, I received this error:

GENEL

No need to panic. It simply says that it couldn’t unpack the file. I ran a quick check to see if the unzip file exists and what its attributes are:

lsattr /usr/bin/unzip

And the result was:

----i--------e- /usr/bin/unzip

This means: "I’m read-only" (I figured that from the ----i-- flag, which means the file is immutable).

So I used one of my favorite and very handy commands — chattr — to fix it. Here’s how:

chattr -i /usr/bin/unzip

And then:

yum install unzip

The result?
