Installing Subversion Using yum on CentOS 5 (Error: Missing Dependency: perl(URI) >= 1.17 is needed by package subversion)

While attempting to install Subversion via yum today, I received the following error:

Error: Missing Dependency: perl(URI) >= 1.17 is needed by package subversion

Steps to resolve this:

1. Download the perl(URI) with version greater than 1.17 using the following command.

wget http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/3/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/perl-URI-1.30-4.noarch.rpm

2. Install the specified package using the follwing command.

rpm -i perl-URI-1.30-4.noarch.rpm

3. Install subversion using “yum“.

yum install subversion
You should now have successfully installed Subversion:

[root@sXXX ~]# svn help
usage: svn [options] [args]
Subversion command-line client, version 1.4.2.
Type ’svn help ‘ for help on a specific subcommand.
Type ’svn –version’ to see the program version and RA modules
or ’svn –version –quiet’ to see just the version number.

Most subcommands take file and/or directory arguments, recursing
on the directories. If no arguments are supplied to such a
command, it recurses on the current directory (inclusive) by default.

Available subcommands:
add
blame (praise, annotate, ann)
cat
checkout (co)
cleanup
commit (ci)
copy (cp)
delete (del, remove, rm)
diff (di)
export
help (?, h)
import
info
list (ls)
lock
log
merge
mkdir
move (mv, rename, ren)
propdel (pdel, pd)
propedit (pedit, pe)
propget (pget, pg)
proplist (plist, pl)
propset (pset, ps)
resolved
revert
status (stat, st)
switch (sw)
unlock
update (up)

Subversion is a tool for version control.
