Howdy -- Virtualmin and Cloudmin don't specify package architectures when performing an installation. The problems seen with Perl are due to a problem with CentOS.

There's some details on the problem, including information on resolving it, in the documentation here titled "Why Is 32bit Perl installed on my 64bit CentOS System":

This is a very different case, please read carefully :)

There is no 32 bit Perl on my Server but Cloudmin try to install it!

As you see, no Perl 32 bit installed. But when running Cloudmin installation script then Cloudmin will try to install Perl 32 bit.

I did see your comment there -- but the Cloudmin installer doesn't specify a package architecture... the issue is likely related to dependencies currently setup on your system, though I don't know which exactly :-)

What output do you receive from these commands:

  • rpm -qa | grep perl

  • uname -a

  • file /bin/ls

My suspicion is that there's a package on your system that's creating a depenency for installing the 32 bit Perl version. But I'm not seeing what that might be above... can you try this command:

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep perl

Submitted by kotakomputer on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 14:25

-bash-3.2# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep perl
perl-IO-Socket-INET6-noarch
perl-Net-SSLeay-x86_64
perl-BSD-Resource-x86_64

perl-String-CRC32-x86_64
mod_perl-x86_64
perl-Socket6-x86_64
perl-DBI-x86_64
newt-perl-x86_64
perl-URI-noarch
perl-DBD-MySQL-x86_64
-bash-3.2#

I then remove all noarch type:

yum remove perl-IO-Socket-INET6
yum remove perl-URI

Run again

-bash-3.2# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep perl
perl-Net-SSLeay-x86_64
perl-BSD-Resource-x86_64
perl-x86_64
perl-String-CRC32-x86_64

perl-Socket6-x86_64
perl-DBI-x86_64
newt-perl-x86_64
perl-DBD-MySQL-x86_64
-bash-3.2#

Then execute Cloudmin installation script but Cloudmin still try to install Perl 32 bit.

Okay, that doesn't show anything suspicious either... how about this command:

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep i386

Submitted by andreychek on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 17:42

Also, I'm going to try a test on a CentOS 5 64bit system to see if I can provoke the error you're seeing. Which installation script did you use to perform the Cloudmin install?

I wonder why there are so many 32bit packages installed above. I try to uninstall them and will try the Cloudmin Installation script again, thanks to make it clear.

Submitted by andreychek on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 21:46

I wonder why there are so many 32bit packages installed above.

Agreed! Did you install CentOS yourself? Or are you using a system such as a VPS, where your ISP generated the CentOS image?

However, that's the problem -- a default installation of 64bit CentOS contains no i386 packages. However, your 64 bit system has 132 i386 packages :-)

I performed an installation of Cloudmin using that same script onto a default 64bit CentOS, and it worked well.

So the problem appears to be that one of the i386 packages installed on your system is generating a dependency for the i386 Perl -- which is conflicting with the x86_64 version of Perl that's already installed.

Submitted by kotakomputer on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 22:01

Thanks you show me the right way.

I install CentOS myself from CentOS DVD, but it is a log time ago, maybe since 5.1.

I'm now uninstalling the i386 package 1 by 1. And try to run the Cloudmin Installation script after remove each i386 package.

Submitted by kotakomputer on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 22:52

Ok now all i386 packages has removed.

-bash-3.2# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep i386
-bash-3.2#

But still error, Cloudmin Installation script still try to install i386 package, as shown below:

In addition to i386 packages, you may also want to look for i686 packages.

You can verify that with this command:

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep i686

I was able to verify that the Cloudmin installation script doesn't pull in any 32 bit packages during installation, so what you're seeing seems to be related to the packages installed on your system at the moment.

Submitted by kotakomputer on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 23:34

Just remove any i686 packages then:

-bash-3.2# rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{arch}\n" | grep i686
-bash-3.2#

According to the above output, the issue may be related to the openssl package that's installed on your server. It appears to be an i686 package that's being updated rather than installed.

Ok, I think we have solve this issue.

I re-read http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/faq carefully, especially at the link of "Why Is 32bit Perl installed on my 64bit CentOS System?" on this link http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2010/06/17/why-is-there-a-perl-i386-...

Ok then ...

The repository that I use contains some i386 file even the yum config file use: /os/x86_64/CentOS/. After edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to not automatically detect mirror instead using particular repository (which don't have mixing 32 and 64 bit) then Cloudmin Installation Script works fine!

@andreychek: thanks very much!
