Getting an error on RHEL 5.8 (Tikanga) when running ‘yum update’

→ Finished Dependency ResolutionPercona-XtraDB-Cluster-galera-2.0-1.109.rhel5.x86\_64 from percona has depsolving problems–\> Missing Dependency: libboost\_program\_options.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-galera-2.0-1.109.rhel5.x86\_64 (percona)Error: Missing Dependency: libboost\_program\_options.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-galera-2.0-1.109.rhel5.x86\_64 (percona)

Have only run across one similar mention of this problem where it is suggested to install a newer version of the boost libraries but no mention if that was tried or fixed the problem.

Some more info about the installed packages:

Waited a week and tried ‘yum update’ again and did not receive the error. Perhaps someone was corrupt/missing in the percona repo causing the dependency failure which they resolved?

Hi,

I just saw your thread. I think that you can solve your problem by installing boost141 and boost141-devel from the EPEL repo.

Hope that will solve your problem.
