I'm running into issues when trying to install v10.5.0.2 of datapower on RHEL. It will be helpful to get information on which dependencies to install and how to install them.

There's no error when running installing idg_lx10502.lts.prod.image.x86_64.rpm, however installation of idg_lx10502.lts.common.x86_64.rpm fails due to failed dependencies

Installation command: sudo yum --nogpgcheck localinstall idg_lx10502.lts.common.x86_64.rpm

Error:

Hi,

is there a reason that you want now to install 9month old aged firmware?

You can install 10.5.0.5 right now, or 10.5.0.6 at the end of this week.

Hermann hi, if Varun needs to deploy a new RPM instance, then he must use one of the RPM images such as the one he's using. RPM images are not re-released with each fix pack. 10.5.0.2 is the correct 10.5.0 RPM to use.

On the other hand, if Varun wishes to upgrade the version on a preexisting RPM deployment, then he can use scrypt4 images from fix packs such as .5 or .6

What version of RHEL are you using? DP 10.5 is only supported on RHEL 8, and the errors you are seeing I believe should only occur when trying to install on RHEL 7. 

Thanks Chris, it was indeed an issue due to RHEL7. This has now fixed upon switching to RHEL8
