Unable to install Zabbix-web, dejavu-sans-fonts missing

[biggles]

I saw that you had published Zabbix in the repo. Read up on it and it seems like a nice tool. I have tried to install it without luck. When I try to install zabbix-web-mysql it refuses to install becasuse of the missing dependancy dejavu-sans-fonts. Tried to download the rpm from Dag Wiers repository, but it refuses to install for it conflicts with fontconfig.

Code: Select all

Error: Missing Dependency: dejavu-sans-fonts is needed by package zabbix-web-1.8.2-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic)

Code: Select all

[admin@server8 ~]$ rpm -i dejavu-fonts-2.16-1.nodist.rf.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        fontconfig >= 2.3.0 conflicts with dejavu-fonts-2.16-1.nodist.rf.noarch

Anyone else succeds in installing it?

maybe you could try

Code: Select all

yum install dejavu-lgc-fonts.noarch 

or compile it from source:
http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

or try fedore packages?

Thanks!

I've accutally tried to install dejavu-lgc-fonts. It works, but the zabbix installer still complaines. It doesn't look like there is much to compile when you check out the package. It juste seems to be to copy ttf files to the correct dir and install the right conf files. But my guess is that the dependency will still fail, because it ccannot see the package intsalled in rpm. But that's just a guess...

Is yum complaining? If so, just throw it the --no-deps flag to bypass the dependency check.

Can the zabbix-web* packages in atomic corp repo be fixed? they should really just require the dejavu-lgc-fonts.noarch package and make use of it. There is no reason to install the custom package or an old one.

Just saw this in the Changelog:

17May10 09:57:40 - update dejavu-fonts 2.20-1 to channel [atomic] in archive [atomicorp] - publish dejavu-fonts package to atomic, this is a dependency for zabbix

Thanks!

(Haven't tried it though...)

Hm, seems to be problems with fontconfig.

dejavu-fonts-2.20-1.el5.art.noarch from atomic has depsolving problems
--> dejavu-fonts conflicts with fontconfig
Error: dejavu-fonts conflicts with fontconfig

And fontconfig seems to be necessary for Plesk...

Hi!

I'm having the very same problem when trying to install the zabbix web interface on CentOS 5.3. I've tried to install it using yum, but got some complains about unresolvable dependencies:

Code: Select all

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
zabbix-web-1.8.2-1.el5.art.i386 from atomic has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: dejavu-sans-fonts is needed by package zabbix-web-1.8.2-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic)
Error: Missing Dependency: dejavu-sans-fonts is needed by package zabbix-web-1.8.2-1.el5.art.i386 (atomic)

When I tried installing the appropriate Fedora package, I got some VERY nasty error messages involving parts of rpmlib, so I gave up on that. I've also tried installing dejavu-lgc-fonts, but yum said "Package dejavu-lgc-fonts-2.10-1.noarch already installed and latest version" (the update was already done before attempting to install Zabbix), so no help in that. Next I've tried installing dejavu-fonts as per the suggestion above, but it just gave up on the same error message:

Code: Select all

--> Running transaction check
---> Package dejavu-fonts.noarch 0:2.20-1.el5.art set to be updated
--> Processing Conflict: dejavu-fonts conflicts fontconfig >= 2.3.0
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
dejavu-fonts-2.20-1.el5.art.noarch from atomic has depsolving problems
  --> dejavu-fonts conflicts with fontconfig
Error: dejavu-fonts conflicts with fontconfig

And unfortunately this being yum, disregarding deps seems to be out of question (the standard --nodeps option from RPM doesn't work and I haven't found anything in the man pages on the topic either).
Any news on the problem?
