I'm working with a new installation of CentOS 5.5 and Virtualmin. I need to install the httpd-devel rpm to get the apxs utility. When I try installing it I receive this error:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I uninstalled Virtualmin (using the installer), installed the httpd and httpd-devel rpm's, then attempted to reinstall Virtualmin and it errors again.
Not a solution, just a comment.
I remember that I compiled/installed a module for apache a while ago and also needed apxs. I did not encounter any issues when I installed all the required packages on Centos. So it definitely should work.
I was having the same problem. Virtualmin disabled the Centos-Base repo when it installs it so you can't get the necessary dependencies you need. Just go into the Centos-Base repo and enabled it. cd /etc/yum.repo.d/ nano CentOS-Base.repo
Under the base add the enabled option.
[base]
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
Save the file Then go back and do a yum install httpd-devel
It will resolve the dependencies. It took me a couple of hours to figure out what was wrong. very obnoxious. The VM repo must be pretty limited.
If you don't want to cause potential issues later, go back and disabled the repo. Just change enabled from 1 to 0 or just remove the line you added.
Virtualmin disabled the Centos-Base repo when it installs it so you can't get the necessary dependencies you need.
No it didn't. Our install doesn't touch the core CentOS repos. If yours was disabled, it happened somewhere other than during the Virtualmin installation. I definitely don't recommend disabling the core CentOS repositories, and it's not something our install scripts touch.

Sorry, didn't mean to blame VM unnecessarily. I thought it might have. I didn't disable it and it was a clean install before I installed VM. It was probably something else or maybe another repo, not sure.
