Cannot install UrBackup from repository on Fedora 30+

Packaging
1

Hi, due to a bug with the package it currently cannot be installed from the repository on Fedora 29 or 30.

Result:
[root@localhost ~]# dnf install urbackup-server-2.3.8.0-1.1.x86_64
Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:45 ago on ~.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides /bin/chown needed by urbackup-server-2.3.8.0-1.1.x86_64
- nothing provides /bin/mkdir needed by urbackup-server-2.3.8.0-1.1.x86_64
(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

Cause: On Fedora, /bin/ is just a link to /usr/bin/, therefore no packages provide anything in /bin/. As such please correct it so it needs only things in /usr/bin/. More info: https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/128511/dnf-vs-rpm-difference-to-install-oracle-jdk/

I think fedora is a beta system，you can try Centos or SLES or UBU

Hello,
I think this is not a problem of Fedora as same happened on 28,29 and 30. Something changed around urbackup server 2.3.8. Before it never complained for dependency in /bin. I’m using it since Fedora 25.

It probably “just” requires some ifs for those Fedora versions… https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:uroni/urbackup-server/urbackup-server.spec?expand=1 pull requests welcome

Hi!

Any news about this…
You had a pull request from davidisnic and ignored it when creating the latest version.

Sorry, didn’t see the request. Should be fixed now.

I am having the same problem with RHEL9

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests

  • nothing provides /bin/chown needed by urbackup-server-2.4.15.0-1.1.x86_64
  • nothing provides /bin/mkdir needed by urbackup-server-2.4.15.0-1.1.x86_64

Anything I can do to fix this myself?

you can go with:

[root@urbackup ~]# yum -y install fuse
[root@urbackup ~]# yum download urbackup-server
[root@urbackup ~]# rpm -ivh urbackup-server-*.rpm
