What is the solution if the package for perl-Net-SSLeay is not available? What is the command and location to get the right package for Centos7?
From what I know rpmforge is already outdated. You have to remove that repo. Make sure your CentOS is a clean OS.
Method 1:
sudo rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
sudo yum -y update
Method 2:
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
Change:
enabled = 0
then:
sudo yum -y update
Install perl, perl-Net-SSLeay, openssl, perl-IO-Tty
sudo yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty
i did the above command and here is the results:
yum list perl-Net-SSLeay Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
It looks like this is a known issue with Webmin on some CentOS 6.x versions; some users found that specifying a package version (rather than the metapackage) corrected the issue, I recommend searching for the version available to your installation with
yum list perl-Net-SSLeay*which should show you which packages are available.
