(no, the question is not as simple as it sounds.)
i want to install the latest "stable" beta of the twiki program on
my FC2 system, so i started off at twiki.org and eventually located
some fairly recent RPM files at:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiRPMs
down at the bottom.
i grabbed the 20040901 noarch rpm, and did a dry-run install, just
to see what would happen.
# rpm -ivh --test twiki-20040901-2.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-CGI is needed by twiki-20040901-2
hmmm ... i recall, once upon a time, using CPAN to install the basic
CGI module on my system, but obviously, that doesn't help since the
twiki RPM explicitly wants an *rpm* file with that name.
hunt around, locate one at
http://www.megaloman.com/~hany/RPM/doors4.0/perl-CGI-2.81-88.3.1.i386.html
although it certainly seems that this would be a sub-rpm of the
standard perl package, doesn't it? there is no "perl-CGI" rpm package
currently installed on my system, so i try to install one and i'm not
surprised to get:
# rpm -ivh --test perl-CGI-2.81-88.3.1.i386.rpm
warning: perl-CGI-2.81-88.3.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key

so ... what's the recipe here? from what i can read (and i might be
totally off-base), i seem to already have perl-CGI functionality as
part of the base perl package, but the twiki rpm has been created
(erroneously?) to look specifically for a perl-CGI rpm which most
likely won't exist.
thoughts?
